Uhm, if people need to type 'some' domain, its often blah.com or foo.com, thats common use, and the spammer using blah.com does take nice advantage of this.
Yeah, and, unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that to list them, since they'll definitely be used in ham.
I'm making a list of generic placeholder domains that people use in examples, with the idea to whitelist them all to prevent FPs.
The good news is that most of them seem to be very old vanity registrations, so they're probably not going to be taken over by spammers any time soon. Here's a few I could think of:
domain.com domainname.com mydomain.com somedomain.com foo.com foobar.com example.com example.us
Can anyone think of others commonly used in examples?
