Personally, I think it is really kewl that you want to do something for the registered members of XNations. I just don't think offering them an email account to access through their own POP3 would be the way to go.

Sure, having an account like "panky@xnations.com" is kewl and works well for name recognition/branding, but you are also opening yourself up to a whole slew of problems. Security and spam for starters. It might be more expensive, and more headaches to keep it clean, then the payoff would be.

Besides, the more popular XNations becomes, which is kewl, the more open XNations will be to hate and jealousy. What's going to happen some day when someone decides they don't like XNations, for whatever reason, and decides to use "user"@xnations.com in some kind of smear campaign? Suppose they decide to majorly spam, intentionally spread viruses and all kinds of destructive stuff, using an email account from XNations.com?
