How Mailinator compresses its email stream by 90%

Are you skipping over something in that explanation about which email(s) one must be able to read? Because the way you said it makes it sound as if anyone could make fake certs for hotmail, gmail, etc. And that can't be right... I hope.

This is partially right(!)

A security researcher once obtained a certificate for Microsoft's live.com domain by registering an email account [email protected] and using it to reply to the CA's verification email.

Presumably something like "root" or "webmaster," but those aren't illegal on mailinator: http://mailinator.com/maildir.jsp?email=webmaster&x=0...
