Just receiving e-mails would hardly be a way to "monetize it by phishing".
You could probably just redirect all emails to @gmail.com, and most users would be none the wiser. Then you'd be able to trivially do password resets on any accounts that were created with the typo domain.
They were sent to you, you have a right to sell them (so long as you're in a one-party-consent state when it comes to recording). You're up to snuff law-wise.
Definetly a shady thing to do.

DNS exists for more than just http and email too. I reckon you should learn more about how the technology works before telling other people how to run their lives and dispose of their private property. Or maybe... Just don't do those things at all.
I'm the CTO for a top 100 alexa site. I know how DNS works lol. I just didn't see that part of the site that explained that the content was hidden.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope they have better luck hiring in the future.

It's not the content of the message. Typically inside a company (like a bank ) there's an email client with a preconfigured contacts list linked to an AD server, the email client will write the email address for you. So the probability of someone mistyping an email address inside the same company is, I'd say, low. Even lower if it's a recuring contact between two persons who know each others. That's what's smelling h…
It wasn't an internal email, it was from someone at some private investment fund, and emailed to someone at the bank. Also, for clarification, 12345678 wasn't the actual number, it was something that looked completely legit.
I would be tempted to implement a custom SMTP server that accepts every email as if that target mailbox exists and collect them on a nosql db (just for curiosity and technical challenge) though I have no idea if I'd face any legal issues.
I made a service that does this ( https://disposeamail.com/ ), and I am constantly asking myself if it's worth it. The PostgreSQL database takes up over half the disk space on the VPS I run it on, and that's only after a few months. And of course it's almost all ultra low quality spam.

This is a great service/idea. Have you considered a donate button to help support it?

I am not saying your story is fake dvirsky if that's you get from my posts. It's just has all the hallmarks of something I trained people around me to notice.
haha amazing - the 'm' key on my keyboard broke a few months ago - I'm fairly sure I account for at least 2% of the hits that month!
