WARNING:
Chances
of finding an email address that is actually valid with this system
are statistically so small that anyone in their right mind would
round the percentage to zero. This device spits out random strings
made up to look like actual addresses and doesn't test them online
or anything, and it's not supposed to. If you thought this was a
legitimate Email Crawler, sorry to burst your bubble. Read on and
realize how much satire this really is.

You
can use this page over and over to find as many (invalid)
Email Addresses for advertising as you want. Here's a brief statement
on how this amazing device works!
 There
are plenty of websites out there, and many websites have their share of
email addresses. Sure, there are big ones like hotmail, AOL, and any college
site, but there are also smaller websites with addresses for subscribers
to this or that.
 This
crawler finds some possible email addresses that may exist on the Internet
using probability! A site is generated either randomly or taken
from a list of popular email providers. Then, a name needs to be created.
We know that a valid email address will be made up of letters, lowercase
(a-z), numbers (0-9) and the underscore symbol (_). This is a total of
37 different symbols. Here's a breakdown of the number of possible names,
based on length (up to fifteen characters long), using only those 37 characters:

Obviously,
lengths can vary, so we'll add all these numbers together.
Our
total is: 342.259 septillion, or:
342,259,761,808,000,000,000,000,000 possibilities.
 Of
course, this number is just the names, not the domains. There are
currently hundreds of thousands, if not millions of domains. That number
is always climbing as well, so every second there could be as many as
a thousand new valid addresses.
Regardless,
the number of actual working email addresses compared to the number of
possible ones that this crawler provides is a fraction so incredibly small
that the smartest thing to do to represent it as a number is to round
it to zero.
Good luck
advertising!
