A test-only email address should be recognized in standards, much as test-only domains exist (e.g., example.com and *.test), for similar purposes of having a token that can safely escape into the wild from internal use and documentation without fear of representing an actual account.

When you sent this note, I immediately sent an email to [email protected]. It took a few days, as my mail handler queues things up and retries them for a while, but I eventually got a bounce. I suspect that any email address @example.com would have sufficed, as there is by definition no A record and no mail receiver for example.com.
