I actually have a domain like that too. I just like mailinator because I know I'm never going to want their email so I don't even have to put in a rule to block out. On a related note, some spammers have really done a number on me. First they impersonated thousands of addresses at my domain in the form of xxxxxx@mydomain.com where x is a hex digit. This is despite me having DomainKeys and SPF enabled. So not only did I get a lot of bounced spam to my catch-all, the spam that went through ended up in places that other spammers picked it up as a valid address so now I am getting spam sent to those randomized addresses. At first I figured I could put together a rule to block all hexadecimal address of six digits but it turns out that at least another round of spammers started using the full alphabet and variable lengths. I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to need to include a cookie in the addresses I use - so instead of dropdox@mydomain.com and amazon@mydomain.com it will be something like DOQ.dropdox@mydomain.com and DOQ.amazon@mydomain.com - addresses without the cookie get binned. But that's not going to help with all the addresses I've used over the last 15 years, and haven't kept track of. |
