I'd say this is a fine place to use example.com. It was designed for

"anonymous_at_example.com" (or maybe "notspecified_at_example.com") should
both parse as a valid email address as well as not cause any harm.

Here I'd say you have wide latitude to use whatever you want, as long as
it fits the UA grammar given in the RFC.
