Up to now, e-mails addressed to misspelled mail domains will not be sent to Verisign's Fake-SMTP-service as MX records are used for mail-domain resolving. Verisign did not set up wildcard MX records.
However, if you configure your E-Mail-Program or local Mail-Transfer-Agent and misspell the hostname of the SMTP-Server for outgoing mail, all outgoing mail will be sent to their Fake-SMTP service.
What if Versign is planning to add wildcard MX records as well, so that any mail addressed to mistyped/non-existant mail domains like "foobar@sdfsgggdfasfasdf.com" will be sent to their fake SMTP service?
Expect the worst!
