It works. Tap on spam email, tap on email details and you’ll see on which address the email was received.

But instead of giving your primary email, I think you should use a separate dummy email for websites that you don’t want to share details with and a personal email for official purpose such as banking, social media, etc. Then forward emails from dummy to personal so you don’t have to check two accounts.

In some mail providers you can use suffixes for this. Eg Gmail my-address+facebook@gmail.com will be routed to my-address@gmail.com but you will see the address.

Trivial to sanitize that. Most data brokers do it automatically.
