Search Again: Re: Working around Verisign power-grab? From: Stonewall Ballard Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 Time: 6:17:43 pm Solving the problem at the routing level doesn't help. My mail server (CommuniGate Pro) likes to distinguish real domains from nonexistent ones, so that it can reject spam with bad reply addresses. It would be great if you could say whether patching BIND to recognize the Verisign response and converting it back to a "no domain" response would in any way affect QuickDNS. Thanks. - Stoney On 9/16/03 8:12 PM, "Men & Mice Support" <cbuxton@menandmice.com> wrote: > We are not going to endorse any such patch, since we have no control > over them and since we're not about to write one of our own. > > If Verisign's action bothers you, solve the problem at the routing > level, as Jer suggests.
