I use google apps for domains, the free version, I like to have my accounts setup with nicknames so I can filter off spam services.

E.g. my primary email is me@domain.com

I have the following nicknames

facebook@domain.com  facebook
twitter@domain.com   twitter
forumx@domain.com    forumx

This means I can tell, if I get a lot of spam to my forumx nickname then obviously that site has sold my details, or is displaying it somewhere, either way, I can setup a filter to block all email to that nickname.

My next question is SSO (e.g. the stackexchange network).

Can I set it up so I can choose what nickname to give to the site?

I know I could set it up with different accounts and forward the emails, but I would rather use nicknames and just have one username/password!

You can create multiple nicknames or email aliases via the admin control panel for any user or primary email address.

I am aware you can do that, that is what I am doing, however I am not happy with not being able to choose which nickname to show when signing up for a site via openID. – Hailwood Nov 27 '12 at 8:21
