I have several domains that I use for email aliases and I no longer need all of them. I’m worried if I let one expire and someone else purchases the domain, they will be able to set up a catch-all email address and intercept any emails that I don’t specifically migrate accounts/unsubscribe from newsletters. What are my best options for preventing this?
Subscribe to as much shitty free services, mail lists and commercial ads as you can. If someone ever gets the domain, they’ll receive so much spam they won’t bother reading them.
Source: I bought such a domain myself, and I have no idea what the previous owner was up to… I received delivery reports from a beer company in Iceland, password reset requests from like 500 Instagram accounts, and many other emails like that.
However, the domain is totally “sane” and not blacklisted anywhere. I have no idea how that’s possible that my emails get through spam filters given it’s past ^^
