This is a nice idea, and I agree with the intent; however, we need to be
careful of the metric we use for accepting a addresses as having a 
"close enough" match.  

Consider the case of the domains "silvaco.co.il" and "datasrv.co.il".
".co.il" is the domain for commercial (".co") sites in Israel (".il"),
"silvaco" and "datasrv" are domains of particualar countries.  Clearly
we don't want user at one company to subscribe or (perhaps more 
importantly) unsubscribe another just because they happen to be
in the same country.
