Not that DNS servers are really stressed..we used to run a couple of thousand domains on a half dead 386 with about 64M of RAM.. So its all pedantic bullshit really.

Geoff, I said that <geoff(a)invalid.com> was a VALID e-mail address and therefore you should not use it. Take a look at the home page of <invalid.com> The domain <invalid.invalid> does not exist at the pressent. Y.

Anyone registering invalid.com, deserves all the traffic they get IMHO. can alwatys use disabled.com instead. ;-)

Not really, but the matter isn't DNS, the matter is that somebody [1] will receive bounces, when you use a faked/forged address, so you reduce your spam but increase somebody elses spam. But that is all off topic here. Bye, Daniel [1] The spammer usually won't use it own e-mail-address as sender. |
