For example, I post using the address of ats@acm.org, even though I'm technically posting from the wustl. domain. In cases like this, you're using a perfectly valid address (and perhaps one which will remain valid much longer and you'd prefer people to remember) but it may not technically be the mailbox at your site. I don't see a problem with it... if someone needs to know where my posts cape from, they can read the headers. But I'd rather not enccourage people to respond to short-term email addresses, because it's such a pain to convince them to change them when they've gone bad. -- Alan Shutko - By consent of the corrupted The time for action is past!
