But that might never happen. I have a personal domain, and I used to get
all the mail for the domain forwarded to one address. I stopped that, not
because of dictionary attack spam, but because I had some published email
addresses which never got any legitimate email, but did attract a lot of
spam.
Unfortunately, my primary address still attracts most of the spam into that
domain. I suspect this is because I shared it in a PGP key exchange party.
If I google for my email address, all but one of the hits are on public key
servers!

Unfortunately, since I never had a use for the key, I've forgotten the
private key, so I can't revoke it! Fortunately, it expired last week, and
I'm looking forward to these servers updating.
