    Yeah, a dead one that literally doesn’t function anymore. If they “require confirmation” then I no longer need to read whatever is being gatekept.

    Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.

    I'm always amused how often fuck@you.com works

    I feel bad for whoever owns you.com

    Seems like it would be an innocent new agey spiritual affirmation kind of site. Actually, it’s probably some bullshit, so never mind.

    Sort of. I have a "catch-all" address (that's just the most legit looking result to a search for the phrase, I won't vouch for whether it's a good site). Basically anything@domain.com goes to spam@domain.com. It's a bit awkward if you need to respond, but otherwise, it's good for signing up to sites and it makes it easy to filter out ones that spam you and don't provide a good unsubscribe link.

    psst, if you have a catchall like that, you can probably SEND from anything@yourdomain.com too! We sure can.

    You just need a client that lets you type in the From field. Some do, some don't.

    As much as I'm mildly technically competent, I tend to interact with my email from a browser. Generally speaking, it's not that easy to alter headers in that environment.
