You still want your domain to resolve, so that remote mail servers know
you're there and unreachable instead of thinking that they have an
invalid domain and bounce the message, for example...

The Patriot Act ensures that I can't tell you about it even if I had
said information.  ;-/

You know, one of the best indicators that your machine has been
compromised is network activity logs.  In so many of the cases, they
install software on your machine to attack other machines and then just
wait for it to find other compromisable machines while you're wondering
why your network connectivity is saturated...
