Nothing says they have to use my domain name to do it. It's completely orthogonal to the point. > PS: The non-absurd version of this is, where did we conclude that the > DNS operator's rights to a domain name always trump every other > possible use? I disagree. What I stated is the logical conclusion from the statement. Either domain owners have the right to control the use of their domain names in email or they don't. If they do, then Mike's point stands. If they don't, then phishing is inherently OK. There really is no middle ground.
