I'm just curious--I know there have to be some domain/e-mail addresses
that have been in place continuously since before the early days of AOL
on DOS. But can anyone else on this list beat a 15 year old e-mail
address that's been in continuous and regular use since it was created?

I can't beat 15 years. But I'm going on 11.5 years now, and we still
run the mail server out of my office bedroom just as we did in 1994. OK, its on its fourth box.

I blogged about it on the ten year anniversary:

But even better for braggadoccio: I still have all my old email. Back to 1989 (I'm missing four years of college email; I didn't know
how to get if off the servers). I stopped bothering to clean it out
after disk space began increasing faster than I needed. Its about 2
gigs now, and I keep it all online. Someday I will be a historian's
treasure.
