I've settled on the convention username-domain.com for my installation for the following reasons: 1) its' easy to get your username from your email address (just s/@/-/) 2) Eudora works with it, where if you use [EMAIL PROTECTED], sometimes it drops the host if it's identical to the machine name. 3) no collisions. foo-example.com and foo-example.org are different people. eric
