@Dennis - when you do several iterations with email, then you will know why this is not good for the life of email itself. Say for example, am a mail admin for xyz.com & would like to sign up for paid backup services from Google on the same, and internally, I have these addresses which I would like to do some address rewriting to xyz.com which is paid hosted by google, what do I do? - This is just 1 example, and in my every life with email (last 10 years or so) I encounter these scenarios day in day out, and while at one iteration, I stumbled on this. The fact that I can chose another provider is not out of question, but knowing that someone is breaking email is not so nice! ./Ok3ch On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 4:08 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:
Now this is the point where techies miss the point. See, Gmail is a popular email system, and they serve masses who have no idea about the differences between jo.edoe@gmail.com , joe.doe@gmail.com and joedoe@gmail.com. The confusion arising from the use of the three would be far more complex to handle than the techies angered by the lack of use of the standard. In a company, it can be honoured, for a global provider , it is better to disregard it.
Also most firms hose to ignore the use of a + in email addresses while Google honours it . _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke
