It seems to be the same email address each time. Something along the lines of nosuchemail@worldnic.com I would suspect it is read by someone on their staff unless it aliases over to /dev/null. Try going thru the process of registering a domain on the worldnic.com site and you will see that both the email address and fax number are optional. -=Mike Reno=- At 06:24 PM 11/16/98 -0500, you wrote:

WorldNIC will setup a domain without an email address using a bogus worldnic.com email address if the owner of the domain wishes to keep his email address private. This is a practice all registrars should consider. And, since WorldNIC is another face of NSI, it would seem that this practice is well within their acceptable guidelines.
I'll tell you something.
If it's NetSol's policy to make bogus Worldnic.com addresses available for domain registration, and as a result I can't complain to the WHOIS contacts because of an incident of net-abuse, I am going to be on the phone to NetSol very quickly, and I am going to complain loudly and repeatedly.
If the WorldNIC addresses forward somewhere, that's ok.
WorldNIC is utilizing the database for marketing purposes which is something the old guard at NSI was totally against any ISP doing and in fact insisted on an agreement to those terms before giving us ftp passwords to pull down the .zone files.
Of course.
