#3This reminds me of all the emails I received from roots due to putting an actual address of mine in the receiver field of a Postfix guide I wrote years ago. People will blindly copy paste whatever text you put in tutorials.

#4Something that I’m surprised a lot of devs don’t know; there are official domains you’re supposed to use for documentation, testing, etc. They are specifically reserved by IANA for these purposes. Originally I think it was just example.com, but they now have a list of all them: https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved

Not just domains but IP address ranges as well. Doesn't stop lots of people from doing things like using real US DOD ipv4 /8 sized ranges for things they shouldn't.

Note that `foo@bar.com` is frequently used to get around the email address requirement, so it is not really for testing. I wouldn't be surprised if prominent websites block any address from example.com or so.

contoso.com does have MX records.
$ dig +short -t mx contoso.com
