As for spam free email addresses, the reason they are spam free is because there is no reason for a spammer to spam those email addresses. There is not enough volume of dotworlds email addresses for it to make financial sense to a spammer. If there was ever a large enough number of email addresses worth spamming, they would be just as susceptible to spam as any other email address. Not to mention that those email addresses are not even deliverable by any standard email delivering software without some sort of modifications being made and users of those email addresses could not depend on any kind of reliable mail service between themselves and other Internet users.
This above is just not the case and sorry, is completely incorrect - they are spam free because a commercial email cannot reach these addresses EVEN if they know exactly what they are......

For Example: try sending me an email to me at my address what@another.geek and see what happens. I can send to all other dotworlds domains and I can also send to the outside world (ie .coms, .nets) but bulk mailers cant access these addresses.

As for commercially viable for spammers - that will never be so. Still, with billions more addresses to find, spamming also becomes a mathematical impossibility - but based on the above, that point is academic.
