I just do <website>@<myhost.tld>. It is sometimes confusing by when interacting with customer support ;-)

Yes ma'am, my email address really is bofa.com@<optionoft's-lastname>.com No I'm not trying to hack you. Which in hindsight is also what a hacker would say. I can't win...

  There are some big brain companies who will block you if their name appears in the email address. Like Discord. You can create an account, with discrod@example.com. But a seconde later you will get an email that your account got band. They know their way around IT security! /s

    What you say is often true, but in the case of Discord, at least in my case, you are wrong. My Discord email address is discord@xxx.com, and I am still receiving emails from them.

      It happend to me when i created my account in 2025. Within seconds of verifying the address I got a email that my account was band for TOS violation. I than created a seconds account (within minutes from the same IP) only writing "dc" instead of "discord" and that worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Apparently they (unlike other entities I've dealt with) did not go back and review all of the existing, valid email addresses in their user database. It's always an unpleasant surprise when some company terminates a years-old, active and valid account because of a stupid policy change on their part.

  Where, of course, 'bofa' is merely short for 'bofetada.'

  On top of it my email address is .me so is very common to when I finish spelling my e-mail, people waiting for .com

I often get asked whether I'm a fellow employee.

I had one website forward my mail to their legal department who asked me why I’m impersonating them :D Only required a short explanation though.

I have an account just like that at Best Buy with my domain. The teenage cashier I gave it to thought it was cool.
