tech.support at I.bought.your.busted.thing.com is one that comes to mind. info at sale.me.your.thing.com is another. I think the types of "prior whitelist only" secure systems being discussed on-list here lately will in the long run win out with the lions share of messages, but that bog standard 'dirty' email will persist for commercial interactions of the type I list above.
