On a couple of websites I have got the message, 'Put in a valid email address' when using my plusnet mail address, if I enter my gmail address it is accepted.
I would stress this only happens on a few sites and is not really a major problem but do some websites have a blacklist of some email addresses.
One recent example was 7day shop which would not accept the plusnet email address when trying to purchase a item.

Personally I wouldn't use a plusnet email address for any of those sorts of things, I would use one I could dump and easily change if it got compromised.

Are you referring to addresses of the form name@accountname.plus.com ? (Note it is not plusnet.com)
Following AO's suggestion, you could use the catch-all facility (or add an alias) to one of your PlusNet email addresses and then use a unique email address for each organisation you deal with, such as...
7day@accountname.plus.com
ebay@accountname.plus.com
If any of these get abused, you can simply direct them to the black hole - see https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=myemail&s=1&redirected=yes&?membermenu=emailsettings for more info.
In another browser tab, login into the Plusnet user portal BEFORE clicking the fault & ticket links

Only trouble is they all disclose your account name, whilst OK you can blackhole any that give trouble, which I had to do once, and that was the last time I used my Plusnet one with the offending party!
