But then, if I'm spammed from some (non-evil) domain, I want to be able to contact the Head Master. If some domain refuses mail from me, I want to be able to contact them as well. If *my* users nag me about some problem which is on *their* side, I want to have a chance to help. > Imagine your busy domain going down, and suddenly 100 people start calling > you to tell you about it, while all the time you *know* of this problem > and are busy fixing it. If you want to fix system, fix system, don't talk (in the immortal words of The Ugly from that movie). I don't answer the phone when I'm really busy, I *know* I'm not good at multi-tasking. > And this is doubly true for mail address - > I can't think of any legitimate reason I would want somebody to come to my > home because I hold a certain domain... Addresses are there for mail (of the snail kind), not personal visits. Though this could be a nice idea too: "Where do you live?" -- "Whois(1) my domain".
