Sure, having an account like "panky@xnations.com" is kewl and works well for name recognition/branding, but you are also opening yourself up to a whole slew of problems. Security and spam for starters. It might be more expensive, and more headaches to keep it clean, then the payoff would be.
Besides, the more popular XNations becomes, which is kewl, the more open XNations will be to hate and jealousy. What's going to happen some day when someone decides they don't like XNations, for whatever reason, and decides to use "user"@xnations.com in some kind of smear campaign? Suppose they decide to majorly spam, intentionally spread viruses and all kinds of destructive stuff, using an email account from XNations.com?

Excellent points Panky... I knew you were a moderator here for a lot of good reasons.

I understand that, NetRodent. I just figured people might want to have a browser based email account
on the side so to speak. Like for me, I have a Yahoo account that I use for certain things or when I can't access all my other personal POP accounts.
In any case, looks like this one is a no go. Thanks for all the input on this guys!
