I know domain.com was registered by internic as "the sample domain", and is
frequently used as a return path by spammers:

| Example Domain (DOMAIN-DOM)
|    For use by vendors and authors in default
|    configurations, examples, et cetera.
|    This is not the spam-host you're looking for.
|    Move along.
| 
|    Domain Name: DOMAIN.COM
| 
|    Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact, Billing Contact:
|       Example Domain  (DOMAIN-NFO)  user@HOST.DOMAIN.COM
|       +1 510 540 8000 (FAX) +1 510 548 1891

| (Networks, ASN's, Domains, and POC's).
| Please use the whois server at nic.ddn.mil for MILNET Information.
