In my case I use it for domains and other stuff where I'm expecting a return email immediately. Like I said, been using it for years without any issues… but yes, I see your point, if you were to use the domain as a “regular” domain it might get filtered. I could see the word spam getting trapped in some custom filters if in the headers. Lol…

In my case, I don’t care since if I think someone has sent a help request (not support, but help) and I think it is spam, but I want to answer (just in case), I’ll send it from there… been doing it for years…

I don’t know why I don’t get any spam on it…. Maybe I should take one of my other domains and put the same name before the @ and post it all over the net and see what happens. lol
