[kwlug-disc] So I was auditing my accounts online and thought of something.

[bob+kwlug at softscape.ca]

Hmmm..... I can't seem to see any references to a hashed email address on the mailinator page any more.

I've tried sending to the hashed address in my history but it hasn't appeared. Mind you, I'm not 100% certain the hash is for the address I'm looking at.

Have they removed this feature?
