It has been a while since I last looked at the relevant RFCs, but I don't think '+' is legal as the first character in an email address. The idea is that you can put it after your regular username and before the host specification to allow tagging the email, in effect. So, instead of telling XYZ Corp that my email is
whp@gmail.com, I could give them
whp+XYZ@gmail.com. Gmail would deliver the mail to
whp@gmail.com, but I could search for mail sent to that address and filter accordingly. I do occasionally encounter systems which insist that a '+' cannot occur in an email address, which I take as an indication to go elsewhere!
So, yes, you should have sone characters in front, and they should be your normal left hand side of your email address.
