No, there are. I still see masses of businesses signing up for b2b products using contact@ or info@ addresses.
Just works.

I usually search "tempmail service" on some search engine and take a random link.
I use mailinator, but their domains are blocked by many services. Fortunately, they don't check if the provided domain resolves to one of the blocked domains... So I created an MX record on a domain I own that points to a mailinator domain. Works like a charm.

No navigation. Not RESTful.
I saw this comment yesterday and it bugged me that text/plain doesn’t support links. But maybe we could provide links in headers if we popularized the following HTTP standard [1] [2]? HTTP/1.1 200/OK Link: ; rel="home" Link: ; rel="up" Link: ; rel="prev" [1]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8288#section-3.5 [2]: https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relatio...
I guess it would be nice for bots to get the set of links in a header.

There's been a solution for this forever. If someone sends an email with most of the words just being "unsubscribe" or "remove me" then at the least you don't send it on. Added points for auto-replying unsubscribe instructions or even just do it. Fairly basic for a mailing list program.

Pure genius.

I think Log4shell was about the closest we got to this. It’s still crazy to me you could exploit an unknown machine by leaving a string of text somewhere and waiting for a vulnerable client to process it. I imagine many spammers are running a lot of insecure PHP and Perl scripts to support their operation. That was certainly the case back in ~2006, and I imagine most “new entrant” spammers are not using email but rat…
Blind XSS is a thing. not my fault you haphazardly inserted into an HTML field in some browser at some point in the future. DNS records, facebook statuses, titles of apps on the playstore, Wifi SSIDs, BIO's on obscure forums, names of children, recipe ingredients, your TV's network nick name...anything that can hold the input of a user, that a scraper or content mechanism will eventually naively come across... eventu…
Good way to put it, and I'm going to share this.

Reminds me of leaving “+++” in bbs posts. This the the AT “hangup” command and would often cause the reader’s modem to disconnect from the internet.
Didn't that just put the modem into "command mode"? I thought you needed +++ATH.
And of course, as others suggested, you can also subscribe sales, hiring, website staff, abuse@ and other departments.
I run marketing email databases. This is cute, but it doesn't actually do anything in most systems - either the employees all already get the marketing emails or there is a system-wide rule to suppress against the email domain. If you actually want to (potentially) break something, try submitting some obscure characters or malformed html into some fields. Blank spaces in emails can particularly be a nuisance. And if…
What they should do is put in a non existing email eg: foobar323992382@gmail.com . These are great since email senders get hit hard with bounces which kill your send rates.
