That's the RFC I mentioned above :-)

The same RFC allows the use of example.[com|net|org] for such purposes. I 
checked, there seems to be no mail server behind those domains, so it is safe 
to use those. There is no need to spam the kde mail server with fake 
addresses ;-)

After my examinations are done (in a few days), I will search after fake 
addresses and replace them by someone@example.com. I choose example.com 
because I think it's more recognizable than .org or .net, especially for 
ordinary users...
