What is the point of a catch all address for a domain? Surely, the only mail you receive in the catch all mailbox will be spam or viral?
If you do not set up a catch all, at least your mail server will never take delivery.
Offtopic, but so were you...
I have posted and don't have mod points so I can't moderate you as naive - think established corporate environment!
I will evangelize Linux big time when there is a Groupware product that can match Outlook with Exchange Server.
I use Firefox exclusively (except when Outlook occasionally insists on openeing IE).
It is so good I want to install it on every friends PC I have to rid of spyware and viruses, but then think of having to support them when they visit a Flash (or whatever) site. If it wasn't for this I doubt most of them would even notice the difference, but still reap the benefits.
I think the common plugins should be included with the installation, with a custom installation mode for those who know what they are doing.
Am I only one who watched the video, and thinks this guy was drunk on his ass?
I can't believe he was lucky enough to dodge a DUI, and then has the gall to take this to the Supreme Court.
And why is this on Slashdot?
There is nothing to prevent me from operating an open relay, intentionally or accidentally. There is nothing to stop you from blocking mail from my relay, by using a trustworthy, and hopefully accurate RBL. We need a new, or better, or replacement for, the current protocols. The whole internet experience is being ruined by the barrage of SPAM, adware, spyware, popups. Why the heck should we have to deal with this? A brand new (Windows) computer is polluted all to hell within an hour of connecting to the net. This is outrageous! I can clean up this crap in no time, but what about the average user - no chance! Frankly, I'm sick of it. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know there are people out there who do.
A user here just complained they couldn't open a Excel spreadsheet. I couldn't open it either - no error message - just a new blank workbook. I suspected file corruption, but could see the data with a Hex editor. So I tried to open it with OpenOffice 1.0.1. Voila! Resaved from OO in Excel format and the document is now usable again.

Boy have you guys missed the boat here. The DRM nonsense will turn
people right off, once they evenytually figure how they got ripped, and
the Windows/IE specific site is just plain silly. Rethink DRM quickly
(before iTunes appears for Windows), or become another dot com bust.
Of course they do (want to control the desktop).
This will be a setback for Linux if it catches on. Yes, Linux will probably be ported by enthustiastic hackers, but when will the port be ready for mass consumption? Contrary to posts here, I see no mention in the article that Linux will be 'locked out', but I am sure the hardware spec. will present serious difficulties for the porters.
Also, the article says the plan will be outlined to 2,000 computer-hardware developers. Some here (who probably didn't even read the article) would have us believe this is being done by a Microsoft-HP alliance. If enough hardware companies participate, who is going to produce cheap x86 hardware, and what will be the impact on Linux's ability to penetrate the desktop market?
I am almost to the point where I am comfortable with Linux as a desktop alternative, and ready to evangelize it, and now this? Perhaps I'd better think again?
If my cellphone provider provides my number to 411, I will switch to a provider that doesn't. It is to the point (telemarketers) that I will not even answer my home phone. If you need me call my cell, and if you don't have my number, then I didn't give it to you, so you can assume I don't want to talk to you.
I dread to think how many (well intentioned) hours I've wasted on this problem. A part of me wants to provide a workable solution to my company, but I am reluctant to implement a system that blocks even one legitimate message. So I continue to research a better solution everytime this topic appears on Slashdot.
I am beginning to think I should just wait for adequate legislation.

Where are my mod points when I need 'em? Good one! :o)
Not any more they don't. Out of stock = slashdotted.

a review of KDE 3.1 to me.

Not to mention, the dyslexic diabolist, who sold his soul to Santa.
