What happens if harris.COM changes registrars while I'm not looking - does my mail bounce because it's pointing at some OTHER harris.com now? 4) Tell me what my Listserv system should do with a subscription request from an ambiguous address - I already get <*censored*> enough bounce messages from bogus hostnames, 5) Tell me what my CGI script should do when it prompts the user for a e-mail address or URL. 6) "2 matches found: Harris Motor Company at Harris.COM Harris Motor Company at Harris.COM" Which one's the typosquatter? Or are they the SAME company, similar to companies that register foo.com and foo.net? (you didn't actually expect them to list "Harris Typosquatters" as the organization, did you? ;) And now repeat your explanation so my mother the Hotmail user can follow it.
