The Toronto-based gateway was created by Dr. Toronto (təˈrɒntoʊ colloquially pronounced or) is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario Robert Riley through Internet service provider Planet Communications. [1] When email was sent to one of the designated addresses, the text was transmitted as fax to a designated party, mostly government agencies. For example, an email sent to ontatg@chicken. planet. org was converted to a fax transmission to the Attorney General of Ontario. The Attorney General of Ontario is a senior member of the Executive Council of Ontario (or Cabinet) and governs the Ministry of the Attorney [2] The service initially lacked a formal domain name, therefore email routing of the form "utgpu!plan9!chyk!" was required until late 1993. [3]
Many of these "@chicken. planet. org" addresses were included in Seth Godin's book, E-mail Addresses of the Rich and Famous (ISBN 0201408937, Addison-Wesley, 1994), although these addresses were not maintained by the recipients. Seth Godin (born July 10, 1960) is an American author of business books and a popular speaker with appearances at Google TED and a number of charities [2]
Digital Chicken's hosting was changed from Planet Communications to UUNET in November 1993. The arrangements with Planet were terminated because of what Riley indicated were "complaints from certain government agencies". [4] Digital Chicken was discontinued entirely in May 1994. [2] By that time, The Phone Company (tpc. The Phone Company is a volunteer network providing a free email-to-fax service int) had established email-fax gateway coverage for Toronto. Toronto (təˈrɒntoʊ colloquially pronounced or) is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario [5]
