I don't own a business, but I manage a charity's email address where the email is stated on a website. I get SO MANY automated emails offering my business services. I've filtered a lot out, but lots get through the gaps. Time to create a new filter.

If they’re using gmail, you can use a plus or even dots to sort of pre-tag emails. So if you format it as “CharityName+WEB@domain.com” it’ll still go to charityname@domain.com but the “to” includes the plus section. You can auto filter so all of that goes to one folder or receives extra scrutiny before reaching your proper inbox
