How?  They own example.com.  If UCE happens to contain a forged sender
of roble.com, would you consider that even remotely useful in a filter?
Why should example.com be any different?  they will likely never use the
domain name, so probably wouldn't care if you feel the need to blacklist
it explicitly, for that matter.
