    Default email address to avoid spam

    Did you hear about this weird email provider? The email address ends with @abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw xyzabcdefg hijk.com

    The point of having such a long address is that it will distract spammers because they will think that it's a made up address.

    What do you think about it?

    Wow, thats hilarious, imagine giving someone your email address or filling out a form somewhere with that kind of ending hahaha.

    I dont think thats a good idea, but it will succeed in eding spammish emails if people use it.

    If you think about it, a person can very easily type that in once and then just copy and paste over and over for spam lol .
