I'm sorry, but I'm not following. By asking for domain registrations to be transparent and monitored for accuracy, I'm echoing the "policy claim" of everyone who has ever tried to determine the registrant of a domain and found it to be laughably forged, incorrect, out of date, or "protected" by some other entity whose primary purpose seems to be to help spammers hide. Whether this group of interested parties includes the "trademarks interests" is irrelevant.
This thread however is about SMTP, and some glop that might make it differently, or less "insecure".
Clearly we need to change the Subject: then, as you seem bent on ignoring my statements about the underlying causes of net abuse via email with this dodge, and it's getting tiresome. Do you want to see whois records normalized and monitored for forgeries? Do you believe this could have an effect on the ability of spammers and others to abuse network resources? -- hesketh.com/inc. v: +1(919)834-2552 f: +1(919)834-2554 w: http://hesketh.com join us! http://hesketh.com/about/careers/account_manager.html join us!
