the bots can now remove the obvious 'no spam' from the addresses.


Even more better is to use example.com or *.invalid, since there's a
possibility something like "noteleport.com" may exist at some point.
example.com and .invalid are domains that are guaranteed never to exist;
spam is null-routed and thus doesn't cause strain on servers in handling
bounces.
