Re: VeriSign SMTP reject server updated

If they were to accidentally remove someone's .COM domain and do that, that would be a criminal violation of ECPA, says my not-an-attorney analysis. Even if they did it by accident. Even if they didn't keep a copy. Even if their mail server didn't accept it and returned a 550 on the RCPT, if the sending mail agent did something braindead like just pump out a whole message plus embedded SMTP headers like... oh, I dunno... a bunch of Spamware does. It seems... wrong... to consider that we could file criminal charges against Verisign for illegally intercepting spam between the spammer and our systems, but it appears to be a legally consistent postulate. As Verisign is doing SiteFinder for commercial gain, it might even qualify for the higher penalties (1 yr first offense 2 yr each subsequent offense). I wonder if 'offense' would map to 'domain' or 'individual email message' or what. Conceivably could be very very bad news. -george william herbert gherbert(a)retro.com

comments on addressing futures....
by bmanning＠karoshi.com 23 Sep '03

23 Sep '03

this from the ARIN-PPL mailing list... it deserves broad consideration, even from NANOG :) ------------------------------------------------------- william(a)elan.com writes: Since ARIN has been sending new proposals today, they seem to have forgotten the most important one of all, that applies to all RIRs and how they deal with ICANN. The info is at http://lacnic.net/sp/draft-9-22.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The four RIRs (Regional Internet Registries): APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE NCC have jointly worked on the preparation of a proposal concerning the liaison among the RIRs as well as the structure through which the RIRs and their communities take part in ICANN. As a consequence, three documents have been prepared: - Proposal to execute an agreement between the four RIRs in order to create the Number Resource Organization (NRO). This organization will represent the interests of the IP addresses community before the national, international or public entities. - Proposal of a Memorandum of Understanding between the RIRs, to act through the NRO and the ICANN in relation to the ASO (Address Supporting Organization), the ICANN section committed to the Internet Number Resources issues. The ASO was created through a previous Memorandum of Understanding, signed in 1999. The current proposal would replace the previous Memorandum, modifying the present ASO structure. - Proposal of an Open Letter from the RIRs to the ICANN relative to the previous items. The RIRs call for public comments from the community members in relation to these documents. As the comments will be jointly organized, they will be officially managed in English.

Go Daddy is at it again. They filed suit against Verisign accusing Verisign of misuse of their registry position with their Site Finder service. Let's hope they win this lawsuit too! https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/pressreleases/NR-GoDaddysuesVerisign9-22.pdf…

.ORG problems this evening
by Todd Vierling 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

tld[12].ultradns.net, the NS for .ORG, was completely unreachable for about an hour or two this evening, timing out on all DNS queries. Anyone else see similar? (The hosts are unpingable and untracerouteable, so I had to use DNS queries to determine when they were back up.) It makes me wonder how UltraDNS got a contract to manage the domain on all of two nameservers hosted on the same subnet, given that they were supposed to have deployed "geographically diverse" (or something like that) servers. But then, we know ICANN smokes the crack liberally at times.... <sigh> -- -- Todd Vierling <tv(a)duh.org> <tv(a)pobox.com>

If someone on this list is from ATTBI/Comcast, could you please contact me offline regarding a chronic issue present since about March/April? I've had multiple tickets open and spoke with 2 "supervisors", and no one will address/take responsibility of the problem. Thanks, Tony
