What's special about .com? What about email addresses that end 
in .org, .co.uk, .net. .gov.au, .cx, .info, .biz, or any one of a 
million million other email addresses?

With respect Mary, I replied to your last question about this on 
Saturday. Did you read that? Was it useful? Did you have questions? I 
think the approach you are taking is the wrong approach and is doomed 
to failure. I fear that you are taking a problem that can be solved 
very simply, and making it much, much, much more complicated than it 
needs to be.

Please read my email sent in response to your last question about this, 
and good luck!
