If you are [email protected] or [email protected], I am sorry about the decades worth of product offers, porn subscription offers, forum or blog reply notifications, etc.

I use [email protected] for any service that insists on an email address when they have no business doing so (eg public WiFi portals). I used to use [email protected] to avoid spamming poor Bob but many services now disallow example.com as a domain.

Sorry Bob!

I usually use [email protected] when a website insists on an email address to let me download something. I also curse at the marketing team, just in case.

I guess I’m more evil, I use abuse@ whatever site because I know that’s guaranteed to be monitored.

I usually use [email protected], which usually works (some sites won't let you use a mailinator address).

Gmail launched with a minimum username length of 6 characters, so no one has ever had [email protected].
