Title: @amiga.org email addresses?
Post by: orb85750 on November 23, 2008, 09:31:43 PM

Just like @mac.com, @amiga.org email addresses could raise money (by charging a small fee) and propagate the Amiga name.  ...or is that going to be a trademark violation with Amiga Inc?

@amiga.org was a feature a number of years back, as I recall. I think Wayne said spambots ended up compromising its usefulness, so it is no more.

I`d like it if it were free.

I`d never pay for an e-mail service unless I was getting my own domain name.

So there's no easy protection?  Mac.com probably has a dozen full-timers working on that very issue, I suppose.   How about an Earthlink-like system where an email is sent back to the sender requiring him/her to type in a code for his mail to be delivered?  Just a thought.  Amiga needs all the help it can get in promoting itself.  -Dave
