Speaking of NeuLevel, I believe the problems with .biz domains and incorrect registration data are more general in nature than just this one example, a point I attempt to make in an invited guest commentary for Syllabus.com: "The Curious Correlation Between .biz Domains, Bad Whois Data, and Spam" http://www.syllabus.com/news_article.asp?id=9618&typeid=153 And as noted in the NeuLevel quote in that article, if you've got a problem with a particular .biz domain registration, you really need to get that problem fixed by the particular .biz registrar who did that domain's registration.

That's been my observation as well. NeuLevel does not enforce their ToS and spammers have taken advantage of the situation accordingly. NeuStar (one of NueLevel's parents) is quickly having the exact same problem with the .us registry, for the exact same reasons. The most-useful of the recent additions to my spam filters is to flatly reject mail containing URIs that point to .biz or .us domains. Not something most of us can do, but it sure works for me. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/

Hopefully not including RFC-1480 locality .us domains. http://texasonline.state.tx.us -bryan bradsby "The Internet is totally out of control, impossible to map accurately, and being used far beyond its original intentions. So far, so good." -- Dr. Dobb's Journal, May 1993
