Do Not Reply (.com)

You know all of those emails that you get from com­pa­nies that say “DO NOT REPLY”? As it turns out, some genius pro­gram­mers really like to go the extra mile to make sure that their users do not reply…to them. These geniuses pro­gram the emails they send to have a reply-​to address in the form of something@donotreply.com. You know, so they don’t get the replies (or bounce-​backs).

Trou­ble is, donotre​ply.com is actu­ally a real domain. And, any email sent to that domain, will be received by some­one. In fact, Chet Fal­iszek will prob­a­bly get the email, because he owns the domain donotre​ply.com. He also likes to post the best of the embar­rass­ing mis­takes.
