I hate the new mail system

No, that is not what I'm doing, though I can certainly see how you could come to that conclusion. I'm not expecting/requiring/whatever that the relevant WHOIS server return all available information. But there is a lot of room between that and returning no contact information whatever, which latter is what DENIC does when queried in the usual way, ie, just the domain name without any DENIC-specific text. And that's well on the "unreasonable" side of the line. In my opinion, of course. It's my mailserver, so that's what matters. I make no claim about its legality, in either the RFC sense or the off-net-law sense (except that I believe I am within applicable off-net law). I simply consider it antisocial and uncivilized, and am not interested in accepting mail from any domain within its bailiwick. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
