I wouldn't recommend changing everything to attbi, either; there's still the uncertainty that a comcast buy-out will entail yet another switch like this. The best advice I can give is to not use on the ISP's mail account for anything important. I don't publish my mediaone address anywhere, so the only thing I ever get from it is mail from AT&T. There are services out there where you register your own domain, and then they maintain your DNS for you and manage mail forwarding to whatever ISP account you actually receive your mail on. Then when you have to suffer through one of these changes, the change is transparent to anyone who sends you mail, including all your list subscriptions. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER jabr at jabber.org / YAHOO abreauj Email jabr at blu.org / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
