However, the Complainant has provided evidence that MX servers have been configured for the disputed domain name and at least two emails have been sent from addresses using the disputed domain name. Both those emails purported to be from employees of the Complainant by way of using the exact same signature block at the bottom of the emails as those used by actual employees of the Complainant. Both displayed the real names of these employees in the signature block and email address.<\/p>\n
