Well know addresses tend to create opportunities for DOS.

Two other issues, such an approach would make it easier to evaluate what
criterion a system is using to accept mail, which many people obviously
are reluctant to do. Secondly forging to sender produces the opportunity
to DOS a third-party.


If you did mean domain, domains like example.com would give a
different result than sending to a real domain.

The same address at any provider would be better.
