email identity crisis

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I run sendmail. I forward my email to gaf at gaf.ne.mediaone.net
If and when AT&T figures out how to extract its head from its collective rectum, when they stop 
DNS serviing the host name, I'll just set up a DNS server to point to my ip address and write a 
script that checks it periodically and updates DNS. (Tony Gabrielli does this with TZO). 

BTW: here is an interesting article on the AT&T BB mediaone issue.

"the legal case that led to this settlement seems to be 
shrouded in mystery"
