Oops, I didn't mean those to be off-list... don't know how that happened. Given where this is going, that may have been a blessing missed. I really don't understand what the look-alike domain name has to do with anything. It's well understood that ADSP doesn't claim to help that. But for bit-for-bit copies of the discardable domain's name, Brett is right: ADSP allows his "special case" arrangement with G and Y! to scale to anybody who might want to have the same "agreement". I don't see why this is controversial. Mike _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
