Probably the most boring post this month, but Gmail has a relatively unknown feature which could be useful.
With e-mail addresses Gmail appears to ignore a full-stop (period or whatever) in an email address (or at least the prefix), but allows all variations through.
Say your email address is: abcxyz@gmail.com
Looks like abc.xyz@gmail.com is treated the same as abcxyz@gmail.com or a.bcxyz@gmail.com
Therefore a crude but effective method of finding where your emails are coming from (without a string of different email addresses):
i.e. use a.bcxyz@gmail.com for your Listing Site (1)
and ab.cxyz@gmail.com for your Listing Site (2)
or maybe the same with all email addresses?
Anyway, I'll get my coat.

Seriously obscure feature of Gmail
