Strain & sequence

DNS is a cleanroom built in 1983 — nothing but ASCII gets through the airlock. So browsers run punycode: the live symbol is sequenced into three safe characters and labelled xn--. The strain below and its sequence are the same organism.

No marketing was harmed in producing these results — they come straight from the live DNS. Replicate them in any terminal; peer review is encouraged.

03 / handling

Handling protocol: why carry it?

Viable culture

Mailboxes are cultured by mail.sb — send, receive, incubate in any client. The assay above shows this domain's live MX: mail.mail.sb.

Anonymous donors

mail.sb collects a name, not an identity — registration asks no personal questions. Gloves are pre-fitted: SPF, DKIM and DMARC come configured.

Maximum transmissibility

The biohazard symbol was engineered in 1966 to be memorable and meaningless — a design brief your email address now inherits. One exposure and the recipient carries it for life.

Contained fallback

Internationalized domains are certified lab equipment (IDNA). Modern clients render ☣; older instruments read the sealed label xn--k4h.uz — same organism, safely bagged.

04 / intake

Q·01Is this a real, working email domain?

Yes. ☣.uz is registered, resolves, and its MX records point at mail.mail.sb — the exchanger run by mail.sb. Addresses on it send and receive like any ordinary mailbox. Section 02 is the lab's own assay of the live records.

Q·02Will everyone see the symbol?

Modern browsers and mail clients render ☣.uz in full. Instruments calibrated before emoji display the sealed form, xn--k4h.uz — the same domain, safely labelled. That fallback is exactly why symbol domains can exist.

Q·03Why the biohazard symbol?

It is the only logo in history designed to be maximally memorable while meaning nothing — drawn for Dow in 1966, admitted to Unicode in 1993. That is precisely the job description of a great email address.

Q·04How do I get infected — I mean, registered?

Visit mail.sb — the lab that cultures mailboxes on this domain — and choose a name. Bring curiosity, not ID; the intake form has exactly one field.

Be uncontainable.

One symbol. Three characters of punycode. Zero herd immunity to your sender line.

free — the lab asks for a name, not a passport.
