example.com
is an IANA reserved domain, rather than a temporary/throwaway email domain. It's often used in tests.The purpose of this library is not to stop a user from making up a non-working email address (which is impossible with a blacklist approach - that's what email verification is for), so for the same reason I don't think the list should include reserved domains. The other reserved domains
example.net
andexample.org
(and various TLDs) aren't included, so at the very least it's inconsistent.Can we remove example.com?
