RE: [Declude.JunkMail] VeriSteal is stealing traffic from your domain.

The MS example I saw was to use a domain that ended .local if you did not want to use a real/public domain.  This seems to work, let’s hope that .local never becomes a real tld.   Sincerely,   Jonathan Miller Internet Service Department ACCS.net Advanced Computer & Communication Systems, Inc.

I do see the reasoning in either owning the domain or using a fake TLD.  Eventually the fake TLDs though could come back and haunt users if they are ever allowed to be registered for Internet use.  I believe that will happen some day.

In my MCSE class the Microsoft printed material said to use ".local" if you didn't have an internet domain. I always do it that way when the company I do consulting for doesn't have a domain or if they have a domain and the mail / web is at a hosting company. If the domain isn't totally in-house then I use .local -Josh
