did it really solve the problem, or do 2 emails now go out on your behalf?

Yeah, that sounds like a potential problem.

Doing a quick search for how to register .sucks domains shows up this (no idea if it's legit though):

https://get.sucks

That website says the "experian.sucks" domain is available... for US$1999.

A bit "ouch" pricing wise, but it sounds like someone could potentially take over the accounts of anyone using @experian.sucks for their email address.

Better to use a non-registerable TLD for things like this I guess :)

It really solved the problem. Last email I got from them was "Notification: Change of email address notification"
