I do the same as KMnO4 and I think I have never received an email to a random address that I haven't shared before. Currently the biggest volume of spam is coming to adobe@ and github@ (along with some dating sites).

Actually, I did receive one, from my friend who typed the entire message in the name before the @ and left the body and subject empty :D

So something like this?

    From: bobby@tables.com
    To: myplanejustlandedcanyoucomepickmeup.thx@lastname.com
    Subject: <blank>
    Body: <blank>

Little Bobby Tables ;-)

You've made my evening!

Reminds me of the classic bob wehadababyitsaboy https:/youtube.com/watch?v=9JxhTnWrKYs

Exactly! The message was like 3x longer, I wonder what is the limit?

I do the same and I did receive a few, to some addresses that looked like UUIDs. It was just a handful of addresses, so they were easy enough to block.
