Localparts of email addresses of real people - members of a
discussion mailing list (on yahooGroups) I run:
<---leshey---2001@***.ru>, <_veronika@***.by>, <__elle__@***.ru>,
<nataliya_@***.com>, <alisa_@***.ru>, <luna__@***.ru>, <svetlana_@***.ru>,
<oksana_sh_@***.ru>, <_____sun_____@***.ru>
and so on (13 more with trailing dashes and underscores).
And <Julia...@***.ru> (really three trailing dots).
The domains are various large free webmail services.
