It seems like a better approach would be to harden all email software in usage to ban almost-but-not-quite .mil at the end of email addresses, looking for the above permutations client-side before anything is transmitted.
- globalise83 3y agoWell, only the permutations which are also a valid domain, that narrows the field a lot and is also an easily obtainable list.
- martinflack 3y agoI'd future-proof it against coming TLD's up-front.
- DropInIn 3y agoMaybe have thier email system do a check for a tld matching that and send a verification email before sending, just to make sure they aren't blocking legit email delivery? Because I can see some serious shortcomings in your proposal right off the bat...
- martinflack 3y agoIt's not just a question of whether it makes a legit TLD; it's also whether military personnel should have any reason to send email there from a given system.
