Better is to use example.com as it is designed for the purpose. Even
better than that is example.invalid
Any made-up user name to the left of the @ that uses a valid domain name
to the right will flood the server of the owner of that valid domain,
regardless if the user name is legitimate or not.
Thanks for pointing out this problem.
