At my university LIU they recently released a new service(new to the university) to have Emails for the university check this for more details.
the Email is like this: ID@students.liu.edu.lb
Password:LIU-number-UNI-3 numbers

We log in using windows live but i havent tried the massenger yet, it seems that Mr. Murad paid a lot to microsoft for this. If any knows more about this feel free to post.

I do not think that's possible... unless Samer's hosting account has unlimited web space and unlimited email accounts

Why? I mean what is the point?
Implementing the OpenID would be great though!

Because I am proud to be part of the community, and a community having emails for it's members is quite professional and useful for the members in the real world, such an email would show that you are an effective part of a tech community which in itself something good for you. The emails don't have to be for every and each member even if they never post, a policy could be developed which determines who deserves to get an @lebgeeks.com email.

We have a VPS, nothing is limited besides bandwidth.

if u guys would like it, i can set you up with emails on lebgeek.com, u can setup up everything via a gmail account and u would just send and receive emails via my domain without using any webspace(redirection and forwarding)

Yeah you are right.

You can create up to 50 E-mails (@yourdomain.com) using Free google Apps.

Unlimited Emails if you want to use your hosting mail.

That's great and all, but you basically get the same package directly from Microsoft.
What I'm curious to know is how Microsoft would accept having this, when it should already know that LIUniversity has pirated versions of their operating system on more than 80% of those computers I bet.

Thats what i thought at first but when i was talking about this in a loud voice a girl was listening and she said that the university pays now thousands of dollars every set amount of months becasue she was working with them on it as a university employee too.
