For others interested in doing this it's possible with Gmail and I presume other providers.

You just use: email.address+dell@gmail.com for example.

Some websites unfortunately don't like the + symbol but I find it's fine for most.

And spammers are probably aware of this and will just strip out the + and everything behind it. Might still be effective to track if your info got leaked tho. If you want to do a real catch-all you need a certain level of technical know-how.
