Also, our addresses are not "PO BOX 1234" anymore, they are "1234 University

against policy.  Only one time have I had a company refuse me, and since it was

Wow, that's a stupid way to limit things... I'm pretty sure that some of
the vanity domains forward any mail to that domain to a single ID. This
you can have as many e-mail addresses as you like

(...) Well, sort of. Ours is technically not a Post Office as the USPS defines a Post Office (sort of like the whole space vs. Space thing). It's the same as a mail room at a large business and they can also accept UPS and Fed Ex. They sign for our (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
