Perhaps because at least some people don't know about RFC2606 (and they 
don't know RFC1918 as well, come to think of it) means and send spam 
complaints to IANA?

Like for example 
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=396A85E6.3FC5%40whew.com

What filter are you trying to use?  and what spam did you see that 
forged example.* in the sender envelope / rDNS?

>  * Will they next advertise routes for RFC 1918 addresses?

There's a lot of polishing to be done on your tinfoil hat, amigo ... 
them mind rays are starting to get through.
