This is a question to Siva:

Quest 10 - Post-expiration e-mail to the expired domain
=======================================================

You are advocating that to the extent possible, e-mail continue to function post-expiration. My question is assuming that your domain has expired, you only use it for e-mail, and you have not renewed it. Perhaps you (someone who is responsible for renewing) will suddenly wake up and renew. But the chances are good that the messages are going somewhere where no one is reading the mail. So if this is the case, stopping mail from working may be the ONLY way that the user realizes there is a problem. If it is not stopped, it WILL stop once the domain is deleted or bought by someone else, and then there will not be any way to get it back.

Is it really better to keep the e-mail working in cases like this?

Alan
