Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/issues/323

When testing, our team members and our customer often use plus-addresses, especially when testing onboarding-workflows and the like. We then have lots of emails with addresses like myname+1@example.com, myname+2@example.com, myname+test123@example.com.

Those then get automatically tagged with 1, 2, test123, which does not make much sense grouping / filtering wise. We already tag our emails explicitly with the X-Tags-header, so those additional tags from the plus-addresses just disturb the overview.

It would be great if there was an option to disable the automatic tagging for plus-addresses.
