When i worked for a spammy marketer we encoded identifying information in
the links, so your "hash" would have to be pretty complex to account for
variations that you don't really want to consider different.

Also, why would I send to both your addresses?

At this point you'd probably have better results training an AI secretary
to read all your mail and save you the hassle of dealing with any of it.  I
don't do this myself because the volume of what lands in my inbox is low
enough that i swipe away the obvious spam without even opening it

Are you really dealing with enough spam that you'd need better
countermeasures?

I left the unsolicited email marketing business because it became
increasingly difficult to get around anti-spam.
