It is a perfectly valid domain name.  So far there has been little
grief assocaited with it.  It is *WRONG* to blame the victum, and I
*RESENT*STRONGLY* you doing so.  Just because there are *BUGS* that
*OTHER*PEOPLE* introduced into named, and because people are stupid
enough to use that domain as a forged address does not make it this
person's fault.

The person who registered it isn't dumb by any stretch of the
imagination.
