Am I the only one who sees a problem?
First of all, this is almost an exact copy of sneakemail's key system, rather a simple subset of it and not really a very good fit as it is in a true disposable address service.
Spammers only have to go through their list of spam addresses, look for any yahoo address with a "-" in it, and then change it. If the yahoo address is base-techdirt@yahoo.com they only have to modify it a little, maybe throw in the monthday like base-techdirt1021@yahoo.com. By doing this they can still continue spamming that account until the user has to change the base, which would cut off their other messages.
What am I missing here, isnt this doomed to fail?
