Why not just use regex/wildcard addresses which makes it less "akward".

Like "mail-recruiter@foo.bar", "mail-hilton.com@foo.bar", etc.

It's easy to configure, makes it more clear that you are in fact not trying to impersonate others and you circumvent the problem of receiving automated mailes to "sales@foo.bar", "hr@foo.bar", etc.

BTW: I've been using my solution for more than five years and only had one "awkward" moment when a recruiter was a bit sore I gave them my mail address specific for cold call recruiters.
