It is randomly generated crap. Several people have created gmail accounts to test with addresses like <a href="mailto:sdolihjerndsj@gmail.com">sdolihjerndsj@gmail.com</a> and <a href="mailto:s7fl0sm3bhks5@gmail.com">s7fl0sm3bhks5@gmail.com</a> and as soon as the accounts exist, they get crap.<br>

you must create an email address of the form <a href="mailto:user@bellsouth.net">user@bellsouth.net</a>, which I<br>
did.<br>
<br>
Beyond that effort, I do not use this email address, but I've set it up<br>
to forward to one I do use as Bellsouth/AT&T says they will send<br>
administrative emails to that address.<br>
<br>
It's not been a month and already I'm receiving spam to that email<br>
address. How is this even possible? Is AT&T/Bellsouth publishing these<br>
addresses in some way?<br>
<br>
The email address is not 'intuitively obvious to the casual observer,'<br>
thus I don't think it's an automated email generator that's sending me<br>
the spam.<br>
