On the contrary, you'd probably receive a lot of "test" mail that leaked through.

I've done data-mining on customers, and truth be told, they'll send that mail without human intervention. You wouldn't be impervious to ye olde mail merge!

Given how I fill out a lot of webforms, I feel sorry for whoever lives at 123 Fake St.

I've always had my mail forwarded to 1 Long St, Testville. I hope that guy has a big mailbox.

I wonder if the guys who own asdf.com ever check the email going through [email protected]

They do (or at least have in the past). http://www.asdf.com/asdfemail.html. Interestingly, their real e-mail address is [email protected]

There is also the guy who owns bar.com which received alot of mail to [email protected], its worth a read if only for this paragraph.

I MX’d the mail over to a friend’s spam-detection system for about 4 hours one time, but the volume crashed his server and he asked for relief.

When AOL first started allowing screen names longer than 8 characters, I knew someone who registered the name "My Documents". That got some ... interesting emails from people trying to save their downloads.
