Jerry,

:-) I've been using email & newsgroups by the same ISP for about two 
decades, and have /never/ gotten a single email from them about either.   I 
don't think that ES will do better/worse in that regard.

You are correct, and at the same time obnoxiously pedantic.  You do realize 
that, do you ? :-(

Somehow I don't think that removing those domains you mentioned "and others" 
will make a dent in the number of available adresses.

Which is a good reason not to even try.

I don't think so.   That can indicate something quite different than what 
the contents actually are (remember the debacle of an executable mime-typed 
as a bit of music ?  Instant pownage) .

Besides, the contents (provided to the client as an attachment) could easily 
be encoded in something the email client doesn't recognise, and must give a 
"unknown blob" indication for.   In short, it would be rather unusable for 
determining, by the server, what the next (second, third, etc) decoding 
should be.

Not really.   /Most/ work well enough without it.  Only a select few 
absolutily refuse to work without it.

And those ?   "I just stay away from those sites". :-)
