Well, the new domains including fastmail.net are now available, as posted on the blog at midnight:
http://blog.fastmail.fm/ I've switched the home domain for our Enhanced accounts, and re-created the old home domain address as an alias (one of the accounts has a short username, so I had to purchase a short alias at $1/month). Not that I ever gave out my FM-domain address to correspondents, but I do need to update the various forwardings I have (from Tuffmail, etc) to forward to the new FM home domain address. Meantime the old home domain address will still work as an alias... Thanks for the present Jeremy/Rob |

P.S. When changing home domain, FM seems to conveniently swap the account mappings to the new home domain address automatically (alias/virtual domain pointing, etc).
But the home domain address personality didn't get changed for our accounts. Not sure about Define Rules (since I don't use it). |

Will blog.fastmail.fm move to blog.fastmail.net?

BTW, as a brand name I prefer FastMail.FM: there are other FastMails out there, but only one FastMail.FM! (However, in general my favourite tld is .net . Not because of the M$ technology with the same name but because it means something related to its use: network identification or presence). |

I guess I'd just "feel" better about using my home domain address, so I can discard any aliases later on (especially since my own account has a short username so that I had to buy a short alias).
And since we're only talking about private forwardings (from a trusted source) and not about giving out addresses to correspondents or mailing lists, I don't have to worry about exposing my home domain address to additional spam or whatnot. In general I only deal publicly using addresses on my own domains, so I never really had much use for FM aliases... I'm curious though, why do you do all your forwarding only to aliases, if I may ask? P.S. I agree I like the uniqueness of FM.FM, but I'll probably just end up describing it to my other account holders as fastmail.net (for after the domain split), since they currently don't even know about their FM addresses... |

Also I think it is my duty to protect my email addresses, not anyone elses, so though I trust the forwarding services I use not to betray my trust, I don't think I should expect them to keep it in a safe for me. Things can happen that make an email address known to the wrong party that are not always under the control of the trusted party that shares the "secret" email address. |

I'm happy that the Fastmail.net purchase has made users happy. We priced it so that .FM could justify the purchase and are pleased since it was in the best position to fully exploit the domain once it became superfluous to our requirements.
We've gotten a lot of attention as a result of our $800K USD Earth.com transaction last week and we'll mention the Fastmail.net/Fastmail.fm transaction in the PR we issue over the next couple of weeks. We hope that .FM will continue to grow and that the .net purchase will assist them in their future success. More details on the Earth.com transaction here. It goes without saying that if anyone is looking so sell high traffic generic domains (or in need of finance in that sector) that we'd welcome an email. |

Forgive me for my total lapse in brain activity (for the moment), but are you implying in the comment above that you represent Fastmail or it it Earth.com???

As to ReuvenNY's question, methinks he represents Logicbank LLC... Edit: fixed misspelling of Marcopoulos Last edited by beq : 9 Jan 2006 at 06:58 AM. |
