Didn't realize it was the same old thing. This seems like such a trivial problem to solve... a) force guardian (crypt-pw seems the most reliable) on all new domain registrations b) with NSI's next spam to their customer database, lead people forcibly to guardian (crypt-pw again) c) use a mail system that scales, so that 1 week delays don't happen. One good thing I've noticed in the last week or so - if someone attempts to register a domain, or modify a domain, to use your nameservers, your nameserver contacts get an email. Of course, in typical NSI style, the email is non-intuitive. And in typical NSI style, although it says you must "ack" for it to go through, it goes through anyway. But it's a start... at least you know that someone is trying to use your dns. -- Rodney Joffe CenterGate Research Group, LLC. http://www.centergate.com "Technology so advanced, even we don't understand it!"(SM)
