That was my first post on the topic, when I didn't know how to mung my address.
Now I know how, thanks to this great newsgroup.

You really ought to add another ".invalid" at the end.

(e-mail address removed)

The reason is that most clients and servers will not even try to
send mail to an address with top level domain INVALID, whereas if
someone sends to (e-mail address removed), the mail will go all
the way to hotmail.com and then perhaps hotmail will send back a
bounce message - using the tld INVALID eliminates this unnecessary
traffic.

Thanks, Q. I've read this several times, so I've decided to do it.
