They can filter out the boxname part of temporal+boxname@mytld.com, but they can't, in general, filter out boxname@temporal.mytld.com - it would break too many things. I guess it's possible to recognize mail for mytld.com is handled by FastMail, but I'm not sure anyone bothers. In my case, almost all spam I get comes to an alias I have in my Facebook profile, and the rest of it to an alias I put on my website - so in both cases, I assume spammers just scrapped the e-mail address.
