Really? Why should a login have anything to do with a mail address?
A login is only something you type at a login prompt. Maybe for
security reasons you don't want to disclose login names to the outside
world? I don't see any reason whatsoever for a login name to have
something to do with a mail address.
Why should a FQDN be (the after-@ part of) a mail address? Requiring
for the host to be able to receive mail is akin to requiring every
host on the Internet to provide a Web server. Sure, I have this host,
and Netscape is running on it. But of course the host does not have
to be reachable from other Netscape programs on other hosts (ie, no
httpd required). In the same way, I have this host and it can send
mail. But of course the host is not required to be able to receive
mail.
