Just a note of caution here since it is the domain owners who may get the
shaft in the end.  I have been working with one of our customers to transfer
their domain to us from Verisign.  They have a WHOIS email that shows the
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  The problem is that when they log in to their
Verisign account, the email information is correct but it is not updating
the WHOIS.  I'd hate to see the domain owners somehow caught up in this when
some of them may be trying to do the right thing.

Some may guess the reason they do this is to prevent transfers away since
there is no valid email address for the admin contact for the gaining
registrar to send the transfer authorization to.
