When I download an attached document in Outlook.com, the browser tells me it is downloading from bay172.afx.ms. This is apparently a website registered in Montserrat (in the Carribean). I don't know what organization AFX is. Or is this the unfortunate
result of someone in Microsoft thinking it would be cute to register microsoft servers at a country that has a code with the same two letters as an abbreviation for Microsoft? If so, it seems like poor security practice, since the domain, and probably DNS
servers, would be operated by a foreign entity, and could be redirected to another location. Thanks for your help from anyone who might know about this. - John
