Rocky: If you're domain email program allows it, you can recieve email from anything at yourdomain. I started administering my own email for my domain so that I can dish out winhaven email addresses as I need to for staff, interns, etc. It was always been a hassle setting and deleting email accounts through the ISP and they charge per email account. Now I can have as many as I need and I don't pay extra for them. (and it only takes a moment to set up a new address or delete an out of use address!) I've gotten some emails from people who mistakenly put winhaven.net in their email addresses (winhaven.com is a personal "family" type website and I suppose their grandma got mixed up or something.)
