My Alma Mater, The Norwegian University of Technology and Science in Trondheim, Norway had issues with student E-mails being spamhammered all over the world. Why? All student accounts were hosted under stud.ntnu.no; presumably authors of spam filters made other associations when they saw the string 'stud' than it being short for 'student'. Cough. Their practice of automagically generating user names based on parts of your first and last name in my time led to two users having (for a short time!) the addresses hung@stud.ntnu.no and pervo@stud.ntnu.no.
