There is a legit public sector company (huge one) in India with that very name GAIL. It uses

https://www.gailonline.com/

Gas Authority of India Limited, USD $12Bn annual revenue.

(IL and CL are very common in company names here that originated as initialisms. Something India Limited or Something Corporation Limited. E.g. HPCL, BPCL, CRISIL, etc)

> Another interesting gail.com factoid: my amazing e-mail provider, ProtonMail, rejects about 1.2 million mis-addressed e-mails per week to the gail.com domain.

Bloody hell, there could be some spicy stuff on a few of those emails!

Reminds me of gamil.com
Ah, yes

Now I wonder what the other address is. Probably gail@ or mail@. Actually the last one rhymes, I hope she uses that.

Probably snail.
snail.mail@gail.com

Everyone thinks .com is so desirable; but just think, she could have: snail.mail@gail.mail.
