GM> Yes this basically my family site but my main email for most things so. I GM> will probably be setting up alias's for ebay, shopping, etc. I find that very handy. I have email accounts for [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. Those are where we get our emails (one mailbox for each, except my son's which is an auto-forward). Have the same type of setup for the corporate domains. Within the family domain, I then have subdomains defined: myname.mydomain.com, wifename.mydomain.com, sonname.mydomain.com, and I point all undefined emails for those domains to the corresponding master email account above. That enables my wife to register with (say: Safeway.com) with an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and any email Safeway sends to her goes directly into her mailbox. If we sign up for something and start getting loads of spam from it, we at least know which something it was. Example: My mother signed up with an online casino as [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- she gets one or two valid emails a month from that casino, and five to ten spam a day from other sources to that specific email address. We're not concerned, since my SA filtering system dumps those spam into my spamtrap and she doesn't even see them, and the valid emails pass on through. Bob Menschel PS: George, you'll notice that I have not used any real email addresses in the above discussion, and even hid my domain name, the one in my From address. We know this list is read by spammers, and we are confident that email addresses posted here will eventually get spam. So we try to avoid posting actual addresses when we can. It's just part of the anti-spam program, like never posting an actual email address on a website you build. (Spammers love to scan web sites to pull email addresses off them.) ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
