Really? You must know someone from the original gmail team because really short addresses (< 6 chars i believe) were not supported specifically for that reason

  yea.. me. =) I also made spam@gmail.com and basically broke gmail (too many emails to a single destination for the system to handle in those days).. but I got an AWESOME trove of spam reports to use as testing data! =)

    Mine's that length and of similar context. They should used my address to train filters. Over the years, the spam detection has gotten much better. I probably get a dozen a day that make it into my inbox now. It used to be tens or more. I think the smart labels really helped. On the plus side, I have an account on everything.

  So 6 chars was a cut-off? Not sure if I should count myself lucky as mine is 6 chars and I get unbelievable amounts of crap because of it.
