Because it's an abuse of a legitimate domain. I know I'd be annoyed if someone faked an email using a dreampossible.ca domain: it's my company name they are putting on the line. If someone comes in here with a really stupid question (not that the original question in this thread was stupid - it wasn't, but I'm posing a hypothetical situation) or worse, a really bad answer, it will look bad on me and on my consultancy. Does Mr. Sunshine really have the right to do that? I think not. When I respond to forged email addresses, it also causes yet one more piece of garbage in my inbox that I have to deal with. Spammers and viruses are bad enough - are you saying I should just put up with people who are too self-centered to think about how their actions affect others? I think not. - -- Jim Hyslop Dreampossible: Better software.
