RE: UKNM: Funmail and some rather "dubious" e-mail addresses...

[Bunder, Leslie]

Well, I've heard back from Funmail who tell me it was a mistake on their

part to make those offending domain names live.  They acquired the names

as part of many thousands they've got and it was never an intention to use

them, but due to a "tecnical oversight" they were pointing direct to the

main Funmail site.


It is good to see that when a issue like this appears, that it can be

resolved and I thank Funmail for resolving the issue.  


As many of us in this industry know, there are still many lessons to be

learnt and I guess incidents like this will happen to serve as a useful

lesson and one that we can all avoid and get on with our jobs of

encouraging people to use the Internet and new media and share in the value it is

presenting to our lives.


Jeremy Kerner  from Funmail got in touch with me directly and realised

the mistake they made.  On the postive side, now that these names have been

registered, they will never be allowed to be used and for that we are

thankful and I'm thankful to hear from Funmail that this is the way it

will be.
