I used to have an email similar to ps@qs.com, and would get a fair amount of email suggesting people would use that as their made up email. In a similar vein I’d like to apologise to knobs@bobs.com for the amount of captive portal spam you receive on my behalf


My new made-up email approach is using admin@$COMPANY in the hopes that they'll send the spam to themselves


You should use info@ instead.


I usually use arthur@example.com, guaranteed to be a permanently valid domain name and also not to spam anyone.


Mine is x@x.com, Elon gets those now


... didn't Elon always get those? He founded x.com in 1999 (with some other people).


No, Elon had to repurchase the domain from PayPal in 2017.


I’d also like to personally apologize to no@thanks.com


I have used president@whitehouse.gov since the late 90s


Important to keep elected officials on their toes, or who knows what they'll come up with next


Biden: "I don't remember subscribing to hotsexyfiremen.com..."


I'm pretty sure that mailbox these days goes directly to /dev/null — if not, they must have the craziest spam filtering setup.

Isn't this the most popular email address?


Foo@bar.com here. Sometimes I run into places where it’s already registered, and hopefully the pw is baz.


Sorry to a@b.co if you’re out there.


noneofyour@business.com


I use dave@null.com. Sorry Dave.
