Here's the suggestion:

>Use <service>@<yourdomain> as your email address when signing up, and check the To header when receiving emails.

The user of the webservice specifies a unique email per webservice; knowledge of that unique email address serves as a hint that the email came from someone that has discovered that email address, i.e. the webservice itself.
