In the immortal words of Wayne E. Bouchard (web@typo.org):
So then now instead of mail to misspelled domains, instead of bouncing, now goes to /dev/null and you have no idea that your critically important piece of information didn't get through?
You _hope_ it goes to /dev/null. It might be interesting to seed a few pieces of "accidentally" typo'ed mail to .net domains and see how many of the "From" addresses get sales email from Verisign in the coming year. And I'm sure that the Department of Homeland Security would not be even slightly interested in performing signal analysis on the vast majority of mis-typed emails in this and most other countries. Interesting times. -n -----------------------------------------------------------<memory@blank.org> "So perhaps the factor constraining the Internet's growth is "good taste."
