For people who are having problem with the "hilton@domain.com" situation, consider using ROT13 or some other similar scheme (hilton becomes uvygba).

Other alternatives include:

1. shorten it so much that it's not revealing anymore (hil@domain.com)

2. use another language if you're multilingual (hiruton@domain.com for Japanese)
