I think they are just about useless anyway and anything you put in 
there some clown (or their program) will use to send you either SPAM 
or abuse about SPAM. The objects I modify usually have a comment 
about where to send abuse reports and the changed field has 
nobody at domain as the address, which nicely hits the bit bucket for 
those people who can't read/understand.
