2/13    What would be the most economical / recommended way to do the
        following: I'd like to make my own domain only so all email to that
        domain gets forwarded to me; i.e. email to someword@mydomain.com
        is always forwarded to myemail+someword@myrealemailaddress.com. (My
        mail delivery agent at <DEAD>myrealemailaddress.com<DEAD> will deliver that.)
        I don't care about any other uses of the domain, just the email fwding.
        \_ http://gandi.net - you can redirect everything, 12 euros/year
           \_ That's cheap, granted, but it only gives you 5 redirections.
              I want unlimited redirections. Other suggestions?
              \_ they give you a sixth blanket redirection so that you
                 can redirect all other email to a 6th email address.
                 that plus procmail at the receiving email should do the
                 trick?
                 \_ I'd hoped to do procmail filtering based on the
                    myemail+someword - would that work with the blanket
                    redirect?
                        \_ depends on whether someword is static or if
                           you mean for it to be dynamic?  email me if
                           you're interested in trying it with my gandi
                           domain.  When I tested it at one point, the
                           forwarding forwarded the +* info fine, and
                           procmail was fine with it. - mds

4/8     What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
        track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
        simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,
        for-profit companies are adding. I might even be willing to pay.
        Recommendations?

8/25    What's the best way to get a domain name that is about to expire?
        \_ It's called backordering.  It used to be fixed priced but now
           they're trying to auction them.  Still a good deal though.

2/14    You sure soda isn't running windows in disguise?  It would explain the
        uptimes.
        \_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
        \_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has
           taught us.  Everything is "stateless".
           \_ You;d think gamers would care more about uptime.

11/21   Lifehacker's recommending Dreamhost as a personal web hosting service.
        Apart from csua, who do you guys use? --erikred
        \_ What do you want to use it for? Do you need CGI or PHP?  My
           brother worked for Dreamhost and said they are unethical. In
           fact, he sued them. This refers to their treatment of customers
           and employees both. I don't know who  or what "Lifehacker" is,

7/9     is godaddy still the place for domain names? anything cheaper?
        \_ I use <DEAD>nearlyfreespeech.net<DEAD> since they're really awesome. It's worth
           paying for a decent registrar. Also, I use Sitelutions for the DNS for
           the domain, since it lets you have an enormous amount of control over
           your domain's DNS.
           \_ listen buddy, tab is EIGHT spaces not FOUR ok?

4/6     im considering making my Gmail account my default email for
        all my online banking stuff and domain registration and bill pay.
        Is there any anecdotal evidence of people getting their google
        account hacked?  After I do this change, Google will basically
        own me completely.
