That's not the point. The point is Verisign has
broken the RFC by not
returning NXDOMAIN for the lookup of an invalid domain. Which means that all
the email systems that use reverse DNS lookup to validate a domain now think
every domain in existence is valid.
Ok, this is all making sense now. I can't believe they fucking did this.
They have just unleashed an avalanche of spam onto my and every other
server in existence and my business is suffering because of it. Thanks to
these fucking assholes, it now takes me about 5 times longer to delete
through spam in my inbox.
Verisgn is fixing to get bitch-slapped in a hard way,
and if we're
*really* lucky, they'll be driven out of business. This kind of crap is
not in their charter.
I'm calling my Congresswhore on Monday, and on Tueday, if this keeps up,
I'm calling an attorney.
