One solution to that is not to use "googlers.com", but to use a domain name with no visible ties to a particular company. That's one reason I use the likes of "monksofcool.net", where the only affiliation is with the late and sorely missed Terry Pratchett. A humorous domain name like that gives phishers little incentive to abuse it, and even if they do, who would believe a spoofed message to be sent by some bank, institution or similar? > People spoofing your personal domain aren't likely to be trying to > reap millions of US dollars from your customers.

Yes, quite so. Understanding the mechanics, possibilities and risks is what it is all about. I wanted to clarify what works reliably for my personal requirements (and for my customers). -Ralph _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
