OK, I knew about .invalid as a reserved TLD for making it obvious that it
was not a real domain, but not example.com etc. (To nitpick, it's
example.com that's a reserved domain, not http://www.example.com, as per
Beauregard's response). Apologies for my error.

Still there is (I believe) a RFC that specifies valid live email addresses
for the From: field, although I don't know which one it is at the moment.
