I usually use example.com for this.

... I should probably stop spamming them.



Example.com is an IANA domain, reserved for testing and documentation purposes. So, you're not spamming them.

http://www.iana.org/domains/example/


From RFC 2606: "reserved for use in private testing, as examples in documentation, and the like."

So using example.com is not bad, and a lot better than other commonly used names like test.com.
