I get the complexity concern, and that '+' and '.' don't cover the bases (qmail used '-', etc.), and that broad-population email sampling shows low use. Sounds like Troy gets that the population of HIBP users isn't representative so broad numbers don't necessarily apply, and that it's pretty easy to know the full set of aliases at my end and check them all. But it sure seems like there's middle ground between flat "no" and covering all possible cases deterministically. It might be fun to work through some of them.
