I suppose you don't have to - at some point they'll just turn it off and then we'll all know the email was legit :-). As to Ross' question: IIRC there exists, or existed at one time, a private(?) mailing list for IRR operators. I would start with radb@merit.edu, if that address still works. I can also reach out to the folks running the CANARIE IRR to see if they know, if necessary. -Adam Adam Thompson Consultant, Infrastructure Services MERLIN 100 - 135 Innovation Drive Winnipeg, MB, R3T 6A8 (204) 977-6824 or 1-800-430-6404 (MB only) athompson@merlin.mb.ca www.merlin.mb.ca

Hi all,
We (365 Datacenters) inherited the HOST IRR. We have removed all stale objects from it, and moved all valid objects to other IRRs. We will eventually (hopefully soon) turn it off altogether. Please, if you are mirroring it, stop doing that. If you maintain documentation that lists IRRs, please update it to reflect that HOST is no longer in use.
Thanks!
P.S. If anyone thinks I should also announce this somewhere else, please let me know.
