12 fresh e-mails arrived, all containing the SWEN worm.

In public groups never use a valid email address.

Meep.

Pls. use a valid email address but make sure the spam gets dropped.

A good example is privacy.net. They actually offer their email
adresses for spam prevention for free.

"Non-valid" email adresses can become valid and suddenly you are
filling up someone else's mailbox.

Not if you stick to the reserved top-level domains:

.test
.example
.invalid
.localhost
