Separate issue entirely. The .de 'WHOIS' is as functional as any other. I just did a 'whois' on one of the larger old-line German companies and got back the whole nine-yards of information. Nothing withheld. 'where's the beef'? The 'beef' is a nidiot who doesn't know there is more to making the query than incomplete use of telnet. And the ignorant-of-rfc's were TOLD specifically what they were doing wrong on that telnet issue quite a long while ago. So there is a learning disability in place there. 'Unwillingness', AKA 'failure to repair'. Not that 'whois' is all that hard to use instead of a telnet session anyway. '.to' is another matter form .be, .de, et al. But those who use it like it just fine the way it is. YMMV, Bill -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
