Suerly as long as the mangled address had a valid format, e-mail clients could still import them? == I believe that the top-level "domain" of .invalid has been reserved for just such a purpose - one can generate e-mail addresses that parse correctly, whilst guaranteeing that the address will never correspond to a valid mail recipient. Otherwise, valid mangled addresses can turn out to exist... -- The opinions expressed herein are my own, and are not necessarily endorsed by my employer ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
