Definition
A typo trap is a spam trap based on common misspellings of popular email domains. Examples include gmial.com, gamil.com, yaho.com, and hotmal.com. These traps catch senders with poor data collection practices or purchased lists. Typo traps are particularly dangerous because they indicate fundamental list quality problems.
Examples
user@gmial.com (typo of gmail.com)user@yaho.com (typo of yahoo.com)
