One thing you can do is add a "+" to the name portion of the address, followed by anything you want. For example if you already have the email address
foo@bar.com
Then for your next user you can use
foo+bar@bar.com
This mail will go to the same place as the first one, because email servers ignore everything between the + and the @. So you can have essentially the same address, but it will still be unique from Drupal's perspective.
I use this a lot for identifying the source of my email (for instance when i register at amazon i use the address foo+amazon@bar.com, and then I can track who amazon is selling my name too, unless they are smart enough to strip it out beforehand which some places are.)

I usually create more than one user account when developing a site so I can test different user roles and so on. However, there are a finite number of email addresses I have and can easily check, and one has to be the site's from address. Is there a way to let multiple user id's share an email address? If not, what's the best way to manage this?
