I've also received very large bounce messages when I've made a typo in the address. I was testing how a vCard looked when sent with Outlook 2003 (RTM - release version NOT Beta) and the version of SpamAssassin Verisign uses is a couple of releases out of date so it didn't recognize the Outlook 2003 "signature" so it was bounced back with "appears to be from Outlook but isn't" as part of the reason for the bounce.
Bad enough we have viruses (verili?) out there clogging up bandwidth along with really dumb "bounce" messages telling people they have a virus when the virus identified is known to spoof email so the real sender isn't the one getting the bounce but now Verisign is adding to it because they haven't updated their spam filters after hijacking all the typos on the web. BTW, GoDaddy has filed a lawsuit against Verisign to stop them from hijacking unregistered domains to server their advertising. See http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2003/0922verisignor.html Cheryl D.

I personally resent it - strongly. But get this: Not only do you get redirected if you enter a mistyped URL (getting a string that makes correcting a simple error not so simple any more), but I've been redirected when the URL was entered correctly! I click the Back button, the hit Enter and I get through, without making any changes to the URL! It seems to happen when I first go to a site I've not been to in a while. Subsequent attempts to get to the site go through fine. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
