I think there is a good argument to be made for “Tell a friend” scripts and viral networking sites to filter email address that are obviously not personal addresses. For a start your could at least eliminate:-
root
webmaster
support
sales
admin
mail
ticket
billing
accounts
enquiry
membership
subscriptions
majordomo
lists
and there are heaps more.
