I'm sure most of you have seen this on the web and/or AKLUG list, but it is still fun to play with. Verisign decided that if you mis-type a domain name, you should end up at the Verisign web page. So they've configured their DNS servers to list their search page for domains that don't exist. You can test this with the host command: host werasdsdvdadarewqw34d.com host asdfaeasefdavad.com host randomstringhere.com all return the same IP address. The problem is that there is no such thing as a non-existent domain anymore, so anti-spam filters that check for a valid DNS address won't work anymore, since EVERY domain will check out. Spammers can just make domains up out of the air, and must be absolutely loving it. Cheers, James ------------------------------------ This is the Juneau-LUG mailing list.
