As it's been said elsewhere, it won't take off until some of the biggies adopt it - AOL, Yahoo, MSN. Then it might catch on. As for your vanity domain, you should be in control of the DNS entries and you would add your ISP's mail server. For your Columbia.edu address, you would probably need to find a way to deliver that from/through a permitted sender. That would probably require SMTP after POP authentication, or VPN into a trusted network. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
