  I understand this. Most other lists I'm on (qmail, sendmail, etc.) use 
internal IPs for
  example purposes. Also, I don't know if anyone knows, but the uses of the 
domain name
  example.com, example.net, example.org are just for that purpose as well. If 
you visit
  http://www.example.com it will display the RFC that covers this. That way 
you're not revealing
  a domain name that could be prone to harvesting through public list archives.

  One of the most abused domains is 'somewhere dot com'. The administrator is 
on a list that I
  subscribe to. I can't find the stats in the archive but you can probably 
gather from the
  domain name the abuse he gets. I believe it was somewhere around an average 
of 200,000
  rejections per hour.
