You have a horrible example.

First of all, what I am doing will reduce the "fire" in the long run. And I am not feeding the "fire" anything, but I am simply containing it to a certain area, or e-mail address for that matter.

Also, this is in no way supporting spam. First, it will take up system resources on their end (Sure, a trivial amount, but still.) They have one more e-mail address, that they will sell to other companies. These companies won't sell their products to me, because I will not check the e-mail address. Therefore I am HELPING in the war on spam more than I am hampering it.

Bigjohn,
What harm can exposing my domain name do? Like they can't get that anyway? Are you trying to say that spammers will scour through my site, looking for e-mail addresses? They can do that anyway, also. They can get all the domains they want from a simple whois. What would make them want to index my domain more than one of yours?
