Hi Julian:
Thanks for the warning. However, what are the chances?
And I've seen very many insertions into the domain
name. Finally, there is a dummy phrase before the "@"
symbol.
So far, none of the Degu people have encountered a
problem. To be safe, I can easily substitute a "$"
sign or 2 for the "S"s on either side of the "@"
symbol.
