It appears that tom petch <daedulus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: >FWIW, one reason most alumni addresses are forwarding-only is that other orgs, like Apple and HP, offer educational discounts, but you >need to send FROM a .edu address to qualify. I have heard that theory, but since it doesn't apply in New Haven CT my alternate explanation is that some schools do it that way because it is cheaper or was easier to implement at the time. >In passing, I do not think it is possible, at least with the registrars I know of, to buy a domain in any legal sense of that word. It used to be possible in .US but not any more. My church has a letter from USDoC saying that our domain unitarian.ithaca.ny.us is ours permanently. R's, John
