I changed my email address not too long back because I used to accept email to any email address at my domain. I used to love that because I could use a different email address for everything I signed up for (to detect selling to spammers) and if someone misspelled my user name, it would still come through, and all would come into my default mailbox. Well, eventually spammers started figuring out that some domains are setup that way and started sending messages to every male name (Bob, Tim, Mark, etc.) at domains, and with mine, every one would come through. Spammers also discovered my legitimate addresses too, so the solution was to setup 2 or 3 email addresses I use, and bounce everything else. The legitimate ones can be changed any time a spammer discovers them. My current mail email has received zero spam since I made the change.

Of course, I have to remember to change the email in the film-tech profile when I make such a change, and I did it the day I did the reconfiguration.

I'd been on film-tech a very long time and never thought to use the email notification feature until a few months ago. It's quite handy, especially if I got a week without logging in.
