Thus spake Dean RobbI think it would be a reasonable proposal for ARIN to modify its SWIP process to do a dnslookup for the email domain to very it as valid.

I know what he meant :). The fact remains, though, that those ISPs are in violation of several RFCs. The way the system is designed, if you want to have a domain, you're required to provide certain public information. Even InterNIC's Registration Agreement requires you to attest that the information is true and correct...which of course means that all those false registrants are guilty of perjury. Not that InterNIC will enforce their contract except for the payment provisions. Spam(tm) is pressed meat. Spammers should be too. Dean Robb PC-Easy On-site computer services (757) 495-EASY [3279]
