Re: In the Beginning...

: If your ISP hasn't fixed the domain name, you can change it to be an
: anti-spam address.

	Just be careful what you send out still arrives at the destination.
I tried doing this, and found out a few days later none of the mail I was
sending was getting through to people.  Turns out the system had been set
up to toast anything being sent that didn't have the system's domain name,
to prevent people from using it to funnel spam on to the 'net from other
accounts.  And, no warning messages were returned to let me know the 
letters weren't being sent.  I was not a happy camper when I found out.
	So, if you change the domain name, send a test message or two 
and make sure they get through.
