Sounds a good concept. Can anyone send email to the created list or just the initial members? What if the list is already created / used by other people?

View on HN

Only members of the list can send an email to the list - since the list names are tied to the sender's address you don't need to worry about uniqueness (ie. my family@fiesta.cc is different than your family@fiesta.cc)

Can you add addresses to a list later on?

Yup, can add (or remove) addresses at any time using the "List members" link at the bottom of every fiesta email you get.

Ah, very cool :) Thanks for the explanation...

*btw, I would not use a ".cc" domain for the project, since it is mostly used by malware stuff lately :/

The ".cc" is meant to evoke the act of CC'ing somebody in an email, or creating a mailing list just by cc'ing somebody.

Also, they wanted like $1M for fiesta.com or something :P

This may be a terrible idea, but what about FiestaCC.com? More strongly associates "CC" with the product, keeps the familiar ".com" TLD.

Edit: On WHOIS, I see you've already had this idea...

One more thing... what happens if I'm part of two different family@fiesta.cc lists? :-)

when somebody tries to add you to the second one it'll be automatically renamed (just for you, not for everybody else) to family1@fiesta.cc - you can then go into the web UI and rename both however you want!

Now I'm thoroughly impressed, thanks
