sometimes I try to mess with sites that ask for an email address for a mailing list by entering their own addresses: like "[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", etc.

let them deal with their own spam, then they'll understand.

That's a great idea. I'll try that next time. My version of petty revenge is to sign up with one of my throwaway Gmail accounts, and then mark them as spam as soon as the first newsletter rolls in. Hopefully, there's others doing the same and they'll be at least partially blacklisted.

My go to has been "[e-mail]" for years.

Or various Five Eyes addresses.

I think I may make the effort to learn how to make a Firefox extension to automate this. Scrape "about us", "contact", etc. page in background for first email address, then autofill it into the email spam form. Boom, done.

This is great! I usually just do something like [e-mail].
