Actually, quite a ways back I was a MSN member. I remember [EMAIL PROTECTED]
didn't really work. I called tech support and msn told me to use
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if msn.com didn't work. This was at least 3 years ago.
Sincerely,
Bobby Cannon

Hi Terry,

context.
ok, Terry, sorry, my mistake.
Sooooooooooo:

email.msn.com. 1H IN MX 20 cpimssmtpi11.email.msn.com.
email.msn.com. 1H IN MX 20 cpimssmtpi12.email.msn.com.
So, is it "official from MSN" that we, and all our clients, should modify
our addressbooks now to "@email.msn.com" rather than "@msn.com" in order to
get mail delivered to MSN?
Or, even richer, are some of the MSN subscribers @msn.com and others
@email.msn.com ?
Similarly, if we now receive a msg from an MSN mailbox, and optimistically
hit Reply ("ease of use", no??), is the automatic reply-to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (deliverable) or "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (bounced). This
sounds like it could be lotsa fun our customers and our tech support staff.

Does anybody know what mailserver software MSN runs?
I've heard MS HotMail is FreeBSD front-ends running qmail (all opensource
freeware, the cheapskates, vbg) with Sun Solaris back-ends. ah, sweet irony.
