The problem with their argument is that any email ending in @eastlink.ca will lead some to believe that information is from Eastlink.
If you're giving customers an eastlink.ca email adddress, how can anyone tell if an email from emailname@eastlink.ca is from an Eastlink employee or not?
- nickfromseattle 9y agoIt's not easy for the average consumer. Comcast offers free consumer Comcast.net email addresses, but their corporate emails are something like @corp.comcast.com.
- ryanlol 9y agoYes! And this makes it tremendously easy to phish comcast employees in case you need to do CPE lookups or such.
- slantyyz 9y agoIt's less about the average consumer than the individual ISP's approach to giving out email addresses. Given that Eastlink wanted to take back noreply@eastlink.ca (sans subdomain) and that they're a smaller, regional Canadian ISP, I would guess their process for handing out email addresses is less sophisticated than Comcast's.
