I apologize in advance if this is too far off topic We are a small web hosting firm doing 20-40 domains/month. A few days ago email submissions stopped working. The good folks over at NSI that they submit to public abuse do not have a clue as to what the powers that be do from day-to-day. The numbers they give out simply say, "we are too busy to answer the phone". I would say I wish we had that much business, but the truth is I would rather shovel out the barn. End of rant, so my questions are: 1) anyone know what gives; I have used the 4.0 and 6.0 forms 2) does anyone know of/have experience with another registrar that takes email submissions As sort of an open letter part: Chuck: hope you are going better than the service you oversee. Any other registar: there is a business oportunity here guys. Make any flames to me personally please. -- doug@pemiquid.safeport.com
It turns out that I was less than clueful. So first thanks to the people who informed and clued me in. So the answer is: "You're not big enough..(dummy)". Silly me, just because I joined the affiliate program for the min of 10 domains per month, I did not follow the link which might have lead me to the answer. This post is for 2 reasons: 1) there is an answer for small companies - thanks to all who pointed it out; 2) In the hope that some of NSI's support people might read this list and perhaps could then point out this possibility to other (similiarly misinformed) small guys. So I go (happily) back to the barn. Where I am I have lots of lighter stuff to shovel today. Douglas Denault wrote:

We are seriously looking at either doing something with OpenSRS (http://www.opensrs.org) or one of the other alternative registrars. OpenSRS looks REALLY good in all reality. On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Douglas Denault wrote:
