I had to email support again, and I forgot to mail it to carsupport@riohome.com and sent it to riocar.com on accident. For three days I'm sitting here going, why don't they reply, they usually get back to me the same day... I went to the sent box and there it was, carsupport@riocar.com. The mail never bounced back... Damn them for snagging the domain name.

The mail may yet bounce still. Some mail servers keep re-trying for days, assuming that the nonexistent destination is simply having technical trouble. You might get the bounced message tomorrow or the next day. Don't necessarily blame the squatters for the lack of a bounced message.

some of the places that do cheap hosting will use a simple sendmail setup to send all email sent to any address at a domain, and forward it to one pop account, or hotmail account, or whatever.. some squatters do that just to see what kind of effect their squating is causing. gives them some numbers as to how much they could get for a domain.. *UGH*!
