(Strangely enough I don't think anyone's lowered > their registration fees yet... #*$(*@@) According to posts in the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup and on the SPAM-L mailing list, networksolutions are also spammers. And you can't opt-out of their mailings that are unrelated to your registration without also opting out of any notifications concerning your registration. And they only implemented an opt-out system after (a) they got the server they used for their commercial spams in the RBL, (b) they started playing silly buggers with IP numbers to move that server away from the block, and (c) they were nominated for a full block in the RBL. Some anti-spammers feel that they should be blackholed permanently. As far as alternate registries are concerned, according to a post to SPAM-L there are two alternates: : The new master server for com/org/net is whois.crsnic.net. It tells you : which registrar registered any particular name, with a pointer to the : appropriate server. There's at least three active now, NSI, register.com, : and corenic.net, and I presume AOL's should be showing up soon. I think he left a smiley out after that last phrase. :) -- A Speech Friendly site: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~af380/Profile.html Norman De Forest, af380@chebucto.ns.ca --- From an actual package: "Do not mix old and new batteries.
