It may appear to be intentionally obfuscated, but it is a legal domain name (i.e., all legal characters, etc.), registered through a legitimate registrar (Joker.com), with real name servers (the vnethosting.net servers answer authoritatively for fjwi39jsdfniw3hrijh.com). I can't say that I was terribly impressed with Joker in my one and only dealing with them, but at least they're not a fly-by-night. At any rate, I wouldn't think that it would be proper for a registrar to deny registration of a legally formed domain name just because it might look odd to them. > On 5/23/03 1:57 PM, andrew kagan at aklist@enigmedia.com wrote: > > > I've getting a lot of "make your wife happy" spam, and I noticed a > > URL like: > > > > http://www.fjwi39jsdfniw3hrijh.com/hv/a2.php > > > > And on NetSol the whois for this domain is: > > > > domain: fjwi39jsdfniw3hrijh.com > > status: production > > origin-c: whynotgohomenow@yahoo.com#0 > > owner: Ronald Walters > > email: whynotgohomenow@yahoo.com#0 > > address: 12422 Halewood Avenue > > city: Golborne > > state: Warrington > > postal-code: WA3 3RQ > > country: GB > > admin-c: whynotgohomenow@yahoo.com#0 > > tech-c: whynotgohomenow@yahoo.com#0 > > billing-c: whynotgohomenow@yahoo.com#0 > > nserver: ns1.vnethosting.net > > nserver: ns2.vnethosting.net > > registrar: JORE-1 > > created: 2003-05-13 00:15:48 UTC JORE-1 > > modified: 2003-05-13 01:31:47 UTC JORE-1 > > expires: 2004-05-12 18:15:27 UTC > > source: joker.com > > > > Is this for registrar for real?
