Doesn’t everyone have a shit email they use for porn and other dodgy stuff?

Sort of. I have a “catch-all” address (that’s just the most legit looking result to a search for the phrase, I won’t vouch for whether it’s a good site). Basically anything@domain.com goes to spam@domain.com. It’s a bit awkward if you need to respond, but otherwise, it’s good for signing up to sites and it makes it easy to filter out ones that spam you and don’t provide a good unsubscribe link.

psst, if you have a catchall like that, you can probably SEND from anything@yourdomain.com too! We sure can.
You just need a client that lets you type in the From field. Some do, some don’t.

As much as I’m mildly technically competent, I tend to interact with my email from a browser. Generally speaking, it’s not that easy to alter headers in that environment.
forestbeasts@pawb.social 4 weeks ago
Oh, you don’t need to go header-diving or anything. Just a client that lets you do that. Dunno if any browser-based ones do, but they certainly technically could.

Yeah, it’s my gmail address.

My old hotmail gets all that stuff. Awhile back they added some stuff to automatically keep it clean-ish, mainly the sweep feature. Plus I have addy.io that forwards a bunch of stuff to it.

I have two!

Yeah, a dead one that literally doesn’t function anymore. If they “require confirmation” then I no longer need to read whatever is being gatekept.
Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.

I’m partial to president@whitehouse.gov. Trump can have My porn ads.

It’s the 867-5309 of emails.

I’m always amused how often fuck@you.com works
jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 weeks ago
I feel bad for whoever owns you.com
Seems like it would be an innocent new agey spiritual affirmation kind of site. Actually, it’s probably some bullshit, so never mind.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
if i owned Fuck@you.com i’d keep it set up for spam just for that reason.

I prefer NoneOfYour@damn-business.com

10 Minute E-Mails are the best, you can confirm it exists, and they don’t get any (usable) data
