Back in '99 or so, there was a company called Halibut Stuff selling T-shirts at Defcon (and presumably other events) that included a free email redirect service with purchase of a shirt. So I got a shirt that said "myself@iwenttodefcon7.andalligotwas.thislousyemailaddress.com" Not too much later, I ended up working in software validation, and I broke so many login forms with that perfectly-valid address, I lost count. Since then, Halibut Stuff dissolved and the forwarding service is long gone. If some HN reader wanted to set up a Mailinator-like service that generates absurd-yet-RFC-compliant email addresses for such testing, I think there might be a market.
