What’s the length of the UUID that you use? 2. Haven’t you encountered forms that have shorter email address length limits? 3. Also, wouldn’t such a domain be seen as a spammer/scammer when machine learning starts taking over signup/registration systems?

1. It is 21 characters long

2. Nope! I would be surprised to see that nowadays.

3. For sending mail, yes absolutely. Receiving mail is a different story though, it seems like most systems do not care.
