Dear Sir,

Good day and compliments. This post will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine the future and continued existence of the entire members of my family.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, the wife of the late head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria who died on the 8th of June 1998.

I have developed an amazing password storage website and wish to bestow it upon you.

Rein in Israel?

The Jews just want to be left the fuck alone. Hasn't changed in thousands of years.

Except you have some psychotic Muslims who think killing Jews, and "Death to America" is more important than building a successful society. And here you are saying the Jews are responsible for this? That's like saying a girl in a short skirt totally deserved to be raped. Funnily enough that's a similar view that's shared by a lot of Muslims.

Sorry. The problem never was Israel and if it were, that wouldn't explain global Muslim terrorism. You're looking for a scapegoat in all the wrong placed.

'Catchall' email addresses once were useful for precisely that purpose. I had slashdot@mydomain.foo set up and could tell where a spammer got my details from or who sold them. I did catch a few people out.

The problem is, spammers often bruteforce email addresses as well. So accounts@mydomain.foo, management@mydomain.foo, john@mydomain.foo, betty@mydomain.foo would all receive spam.

Moreover it makes it impossible to close down an account, for example if you decide to change your primary email address etc. Unless you go to the trouble of routing that email address to your trash at a server level.

I love disposable email addresses but don't think wildcard catch-alls are the answer any more. Another thing that Spammers have ruined.
