So you've taken something that only companies with large budgets were able to do, and made it possible for everyone?

Any way I can remove my email from your website in case a website I've signed up to hasn't hidden my email sufficiently?

What robots.txt rules do I add to protect my users in case emails get posted to my site in comments/posts?

Exactly, our goal is to make this service something affordable for everyone. The current solutions, imho, are charging an insane amount for what they offer.

We haven't discussed this yet but it seems like a good idea, so we'll probably have a page dedicated to this where users can tell us to remove their email from our database.

Once we're in beta, our crawler will operate under a specific name which you can refer to in your robots.txt exclusion rules. We'll have an info page for this.

Something to consider, how about having the ability to delist domains?

I have a few domains that I use as pre-spam filters so that I can see immediately if my email address was spammed. e.g., I receive an email addressed to [e-mail] but it's advertising something along the lines of rutabaga hentai.

If I could remove myhappydomain.com completely, that would be a happy making thing.

Not a bad idea, could have it work on the same principles as the robot exclusion, but just have a simple web submission form for domains. To prevent malicious use, could maybe have it send a confirmation link for delisting to an email address associated with the domain.

We'll discuss this for beta, thank you!
