This is a good place to use alsfkj@example.com
With example.com (which cannot be registered) you know you are not potentially smacking around the domain of a poor company
- devicenull 14y agoeBay is not exactly a poor company (current owners of x.com for some completely bizarre reason)
- unboring 14y agox.com was originally PayPal, so eBay owns the domain once they acquired them.

- rurounijones 14y agoI did say potentially In this case no it is not a small company, but I have seen people sign up to things with random email addresses that did map to small-time company domains. Just be a nice guy, avoid the risk and use example.com is what I am trying to say.
- rdl 14y agoI usually use the site's own domain -- so a fake account on quora gets an @quora.com domain.
- rurounijones 14y agoHah! That is brilliant, love that idea, there is a certain sense of poetic justice.
