I am not sure this is on-topic anymore but, these are the following values I blacklisted and flagged when used as an IFP in the FOAF validator I wrote on foaf.qdos.com (I know it is currently down, we are repurposing hardware at the mo - so sorry!). 

$ifpblacklist = array("<mailto:>",'"da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709"','"08445a31a78661b5c746feff39a9db6e4e2cc5cf"','"20cb76cb42b39df43cb616fffdda22dbb5ebba32"','<http://www.google.com/>','<http://www.google.com>','<http://www.bbc.co.uk/>','<http://bbc.co.uk>','"02085a0d20a5f574c1ce6cfe42bba6e85cfe07cf"');

Some of the hashes in the blacklist where added due to copy and pasting errors when people where knocking together handwritten FOAF files, iirc John Domingue shared one of the foaf:mbox_sha1sum's with Tom Heath (probably from the time when they both worked at KMI).
