Maybe email generators aren't clever enough to handle the underscore, or domains that end in something else than .com
Yep, that last is probably it. No one said spammers are thorough.

They might have guessed it. Now let's assume my name is John Doe. I wonder why john.doe@gmail.com is infested, and not john_doe@yahoo.fr, which is my main address.

Maybe email generators aren't clever enough to handle the underscore, or domains that end in something else than .com

And regarding pr0n outfits, I always sign up as "Unotgonnaget@myemail.com", or something similar
