I think it's Old Webmaster Lore that there exist roughly ten email addresses which are Widely Considered To Be Special. abuse@, postmaster@, and administrator@ are three of them.
There exist a lot of systems in the world which rely on this being true, irrespective of whether it is in fact true.
- tomjen3 12y agoI seem to recall DNS being one of them, that is that you have to have somebody monitor abuse@. But either way, this is yet another reason to ditch certificates: it is way too fragile a system (not the least because it gives users the "it has a lock, it means it is safe").
