Sunday, April 24, 2005Use example.com for documentation and testing

Always try to use something@example.com instead of something@test.com in your testing and documentation. The domain example.com is set aside for documenation purposes. They must get enormous amounts of email "spam" at test.com (which is a real domain)... :) Try putting www.example.com into your browser, you'll get this:
You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser. These domain names are reserved for use in documentation and are not available for registration. See RFC 2606, Section 3.

cool!

I'll never forgot the time I put in: testing@test.com (I forget what the actual address was, but it was close to this) and got a response from Bob back. :)
