Adapt - some people top post and some people do not. Humans can adapt.
Computers are the pedants. Keep complaining and I'll side post.

Please let me state what I meant more clearly. There should be a blacklist
that is manually filled out. This blacklist would automatically engage the
tar pit. The tar pit would also automatically be engaged, without adding an
entry to the blacklist, if the email comes in to a nonexistent domain or
user address. This would be a one time thing in the typo case Kurt cited.
