Maybe not quite /all/ reason. Way back, the guy in charge of our company network insisted on mapping all email addresses in and out - so my /internal/ company email was [email protected], while /externally/ it appeared as [email protected]. His point was that 'scott' was my login id on the entire company network, and changing it added some extra security. I was never totally convinced, and it caused a few arguments^Wdiscussions between us, which he always won :-) > Since it doesn't /seem/ to be easily reversed, how does one expect to > receive *any* email? > > Still, that's not what we're here to debate. > > Have you seen posts, ref going to the OOo website and unsubbing there? > Plus, of course, the telnet method Mike suggested. And don't forget there's some magic to be played with the unsubscription address. If you look at the return path address on any list mail, you'll see it looks like rather like [email protected] The EMAIL=DOMAIN.org shows what the list thinks your email is (= <-> @, obviously). IIRC (someone correct me!) if you email to [email protected] (something like that) the OOo system will pick up the needed address, and send a confirmation request. I forgwet what that looks like, but (again IIRC) you can fiddle the addresses in a similar way. Or something like that.....
