Seconded. I've had it set up like that for years (and not just WoW, but any
site where I need to register a domain).

I've been getting waves of spam/phishing mails to various addresses. First
to the one registered at wowif, then at wowguru, lately to the one I had
registered at warcraftpets. I don't know if all those sites get hacked or if
they work together with the spammers... In any case, it's easy to dismiss
all the threats that they would shut down my account for gold trading if I
didn't follow the link and log on ;-)

Cheers
