I never said that wasn't a suspicious name but spammers euros are
indeed green just like everyone elses so how do you know who is a goody
and who is a baddy? Where do you draw the line with a registration? Are
you going to have a committee look at each and every registration to
see if they like the look of it, or if they think it might be possible
used to send spam?

The spammer could just as easily register a domain that uses real
words, in fact our mail server blocks hundreds of spams a day, most
are from ordinary looking domain names.

I'd be interested to see any registrar that would block what is
technically a legitimate registration. Who do you use?
