EEN keer) on an email address and store the IP address of the mail server. (2) NEVER EVER, despite the attraction, use the domain name for an email address ALWAYS use a sub-domain instead. Example NOT: paul@mydomain.com RECOMMENDED: paul@subdomain.mydomain.com Examples: paul@eu.mydomain.com paul@nl.mydomain.com paul@be.mydomain.com paul@uk.mydomain.com (3) Vote to jail the bloody spammers.
