Why not just set up a vm box that emails you when someone puts a message in it. Some systems even email you the message, making maintenance a breeze.

Two reasons:

First, ICANN gave me five days to comply or loose my domain. This purposefully unreasonable time period does not create an situation that is conducive to solution shopping.

Second, I shouldn't have to. ICANN is forcing me to publish an email address and a phone number. So I publish a phone number that converts calls into emails that are sent to the email address that I published. So its basically no different that if I'd just published the email. Therefore, requiring me to publish a phone number does not help the stability and security of the internet in any way. Its a stupid requirement and it shouldn't exist.
