That’s exactly why I’ve used an “admin@“ address for decades now on email registrations. It has a filter that will then redirect anything from the registrar’s domain and junk anything else.

sweet! hoping your registrar does indeed send his 'very important mail' from that domain .

That's fun and I like the idea, until the ICANN decides you need to verify your domain or it'll be terminated within two weeks. Who knows what email sending service or domain they'll decide to use. (OVH, for instance, sent me this not only from a different domain, but from a different country TLD altogether than previous emails from them.) Do you also have a dedicated phone number for your registrar to call? And home address? The whole thing is a bit iffy, I'd much rather that my personal information remains with the party that can relay any relevant queries. Another problem with using an inbox @ your domain is that, when there's a problem with your domain... good luck receiving that email. I have two accounts with the registrar for different domains and they point to each other. Not great, perhaps I should open a hotmail for this that relays copies of any emails so I still get the notifications during normal times, but it's something.

  > until the ICANN decides you need to verify your domain ICANN don't do that. Your _registrar_ is required by ICANN policies (search for "Whois Data Reminder Policy") to send you notifications to ensure your contact information is current. Whether your domain gets terminated or not is largely down to your registrar, but if your contact details aren't accurate, you probably aren't getting billing notifications either.

    Um, I can sign up as John Doe being the domain owner but it's not required that Ms. John also pays the bills upon renewals. Never had a problem with domains under anonymised names. And it is ICANN policy, it's not the registrar doing this for fun and profit. Per their new-ish policy, it is that my registrar indeed sent that email from a random domain they had laying around.
