I’d like to test my sign up flow but I don’t have infinity emails. In the past, I was using the gmail trick of creating alias gmails using the ‘+’ symbol (aka [myemailhandle+testdate@gmail.com](mailto:myemailhandle+testdate@gmail.com)) but now those emails are getting insta-unsubscribed, probably because they look like spam or aweber is identifying them as duplicates.

Either way, I would like to test my sign in flow but I don’t have an email address that will let me navigate through the process as a user. Tips on what I should do? Thanks!

Hi Felice. When testing your sign-up workflow, you don’t need an endless supply of email addresses. A couple of test emails—two or three—should suffice for your evaluation. When testing, make sure you are using a real first name as well versus a placeholder.

Once you’ve tested these emails, I recommend removing them from your list. You can test again using the same email addresses after they have been removed from the list, but you’d want to space out your tests. I hope this information proves helpful.

this is how I do it and it works. My Gmail + trick is not a subscriber, but instead the email address I use when sending tests inside the admin

> Matt I have an answer for you! As we have the situation at my company here’s what we do: when my assistant sends me a test she always puts the name “ChristinaTest” as my first name, and then my email [Christina+test@mydomain.com](mailto:Christina+test@mydomain.com) this then comes to me and I can tell it’s a test and not the broadcast that goes out. so then I can always search my email for “ChristinaTest” and find only the AWeber test broadcasts before we blast the whole list. make sense ?
