This is not a typosquat, it's a live domain that happens by coincidence to be close to some other domain that gets a lot of mail, is in use for stuff other than e-mail, and wants the mail attempts to stop. But more important, I understand your position to be that anyone who types an invalid domain in an e-mail addresses is a bad person, and deserves to be punished for it by not learning for a week that the message bounced. Interesting viewpoint. R's, John
