We had this discussion in Sweden a couple years back, in the operator forum, and we more or less joked that wildcards with exception was the only acceptable opt-out, where a domain holder might submit a domain name and state "only those email accounts matched by "*.namn.se" who opt out of my wildcard opt-out may be sent spam". At the time I was working at the swedish TLD registry and immediately offered "*.se" as wildcard, since that was "my domain". ;-) We still have no such register. Or any register. -- M�ns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE What's the MATTER Sid? ... Is your BEVERAGE unsatisfactory? Attachment:
