Some of them have seperate MX records, too, so all mail to non-existant domains gets shunted off somewhere. On the flip side, the people who run .bix and .info (?) tried the same stunt as Verisign a few months back, and if I remember my news blurbs right, the US Gov't asked them to stop. --Mike --8nsIa27JVQLqB7/C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/Z6qjCczNhKRsh48RAmsnAJ4vdT+qJ/v11t4uhh/3ilnu+QgOCwCgoaJZ OduudHH7I/WAUGkecY8gJrI= =z5eD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8nsIa27JVQLqB7/C--
