As I understand it, Verisign moved to resolve any "unresolved" domain names in the .com and .net TLD's. Many of the other "unresolved" TLD's have previously been "relsolved" in this same fashion. I get the impression most feel it's greed on the part of Verisign which is at work here. Are there any technical issues that speak in favor of this move? I know my anti-spam configuration of rejecting mail from unresolved domains is going to take a hit.
