Hi, due to events I don't know to the fullest extent, my primary mail address's domain, df7cb.de went into the TRANSIT state in March. I went to the web frontend the German NIC (Denic) told me, chose a new provider, and thought everything was fine. Some time later, they sent me a bill that said I didn't pay for the Denic Direct service, meaning I had to pay 59EUR per year because I didn't have a provider any more, and was now directly their customer. Alexander Wirt, who is so kind to take care of my domains, talked to the provider and everything seemed fine again.
Last Wednesday, the domain's nameserver entries in the .de zone were then replaced by some nsentry pointing to a Denic web server saying it was unavailable. Since then, Alex and I have phoned half of Germany, tried to move the domain to a different provider, and both the old and the new provider, and the Denic have said, everything was fine - but it is not. The domain continues to be in some "in process state", meaning I won't be able to receive mail until Monday. I also can't really send mail without reworking my whole mail setup. There seems to be some internal fight between the Denic and my last provider or the reseller, on which I don't have any influence. Since I'm pretty annoyed by the whole mess, I'll take an internet-free vacation until I can convince the Denic to complete the transfer. (And then hopefully kill someone in their support department.) Christoph PS: Alex is just as annoyed as I am, so I can't (and don't) blame him for this debacle. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.df7cb.de/cs/ Universität des Saarlandes, Compiler Design Lab -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
