Here's an argument for *not* making your email address "fi...@example.com",
"l...@example.com" or something like that.
I believe an email to me starting "Dear Dfs," has 100% probability of
being spam. If my email address were "da...@roaringpenguin.com"
instead, I'd get a lot of FPs on "Dear David,"
So there you go... use obscure local parts in your email addresses. ;)
I couldn't agree more. I've always used my name and my wife has always
used a very long word from a fictional language. She gets almost no
spam even without filtering. I think she's somewhat immune to her
address being discovered by dictionary attacks.
