Please use a personal email. My email is ‘mail’ @ ‘my actual name’. It does not get more personal than that

But you can’t use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

    This is a feature, not a bug. The rest of us don’t want crap being sent to admin email addresses, so fix your damn email and try again.

    Personally I use generated email addresses to most places, but my personal address is <FIRST>@<LAST>.us

      The email i was trying to use was mail@ my actual name and surname.

      It is very handy to share and easy for people to remember.

      I dont feel that it needs fixing when it is perfect for me and my needs but not for some company that needs to be overly careful

      I have all my admin/mail/webmaster/etc blacklisted a long time ago because those are the that get spam first when spammers parse lists of registered domains.

      I wonder if abuse@'s get any spam…
