Thanks for this point, Ken.  And usually I use a@xxx, but sometimes the 
form masters get more zealous and require something with .com or .org.  
I have also used mybutt@xxxxxxxxx, just for fun.

At the same time, let's put the work where it belongs.  If you set up a 
domain, it's your responsibility to set up the rules.  It's not terribly 
hard to put user abc on a reject (or better yet ignore) list.  If you 
have domain def.com, you ought to be expecting the spam, and if not, you 
ought to figure it out pretty quickly.

Just Google abc@xxxxxxxx

But your point is taken.

As an aside, for those sites that requires "valid" domains, do you think 
nowhere.com is okay?  How about fake-domain.com?  There actually is a 
www.nowhere.com.au, and they look to have a sense of humor about the 
whole thing...
