Hi there We operate webmail services for the .name TLD (MX and DNS resolution are handled by the nic.name people). After the recent Verisign brouhaha, several of y'all patched their nameservers to stop believing Verisign (so did we). Just that quite a few of you also seem to have set up your resolvers to do the same thing with other wildcarded TLDs. .name is a wildcarded TLD and does have legit domains on it. Right now we are seeing a lot of problems with .name domains being treated as unresolvable thanks to this, and mail from .name users is not getting through as mailservers are configured not to accept mail from unresolvable domains. I know, .name domains don't have zones or NS records attached to them - but yes, this is a legit wildcard (kind of like .museum, but this one is for vanity domains). I'd request DNS admins here to not treat .name as delegation-only. thanks --srs -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations
