Does anyone know why IANA has assigned NS and A records to the
example.{com,org,net,...} domains?  They even put up a website
at the IP explaining RFC 2606.
Perhaps because at least some people don't know about RFC2606 (and they don't know RFC1918 as well, come to think of it) means and send spam complaints to IANA?

Like for example http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=396A85E6.3FC5%40whew.com

 * Are they breaking anti-UCE filters by doing this? (yes)
What filter are you trying to use? and what spam did you see that forged example.* in the sender envelope / rDNS?

 * Will they next advertise routes for RFC 1918 addresses?
There's a lot of polishing to be done on your tinfoil hat, amigo ... them mind rays are starting to get through.
