It's still a stupid solution with all sorts of 'code smells' and bad design, but the least they could do in a case like that is use @example.com.

    Is example.com the only reserved dead domain by icann? Just curious

    Edit: seems like so. Though there are some reserved TLDs as well

    Oooh, looking at RFC2606 (mentioned by your link), the .invalid TLD seems like an appropriate choice here.

    (Changing "deleted" users' emails to an invalid TLD still isn't the right solution, though.)
