 I discovered this problem after not being able to reach microsoft's website

don't worry, the names you see are just registred name servers

   Registrar: ABACUS AMERICA, INC. DBA NAMES4EVER
   Whois Server: whois.names4ever.com

etc. (look at the real domain names... for example here kluge.org
or omfglol.com...)

I _need_ müller.ch :)

   Statement
   (source: http://www.switch.ch/id/announcements.html?id=63 )

   09.02.2004

   by SWITCH on the press release issued by the company,
   reisen.ch AG, Berne.

   In a press release dated 28 January 2004, the company,
   reisen.ch AG, Berne, wrote that it considers unlawful the
   procedure selected by SWITCH for the introduction of IDN
   (Internationalised Domain Names, i.e. domain names with
   accents and umlauts).

   SWITCH sets out its opinion here and clarifies the
   misunderstandings that have arisen.

   The company, reisen.ch AG, Berne, the holder of domain names
   which contain ue as a substitute for the unavailable
   character ü asked SWITCH to allocate it the corresponding
   domain names with ü instead of ue and to postpone the
   introduction date for domain names with accents and umlauts
   (Internationalised Domain Names, or IDN).

   The characters ue are not identical to ü, and e is not
   identical to é in either linguistic or technical terms. For
   instance, poet is not the same as pöt, and ships dont
   travel through the Süzkanal but through the Suezkanal.

   In technical terms, Internationalised Domain Names constitute
   an extension of the address space (A-Z, 0-9, hyphen). The IDN
   bücher.ch is really made up of the character sequence
   xn--bcher-kva.ch, referred to in technical terms as the
   ACE-string. 

   xn--bcher-kva.ch and bücher.ch are thus two different
   things.

   To quote SWITCHs lawyer, Nicole Beranek Zanon: AA
   transcription of the type that reisen.ch AG is asking for goes
   against the 'first come, first served' principle that SWITCH
   is legally obliged to apply. Also, SWITCH does not have to
   check who is entitled to a domain name, and the transcription
   would make it necessary to perform checks of this type. Added
   to this, SWITCH is forbidden by law to accept reservations for
   domain names.

   SWITCH is aware of the fact that conflicts may arise in
   individual cases. This is why the introduction of IDN is being
   accompanied by the introduction of a Dispute Resolution
   Service, designed to ensure that conflicts can be resolved
   amicably and efficiently.

   It is claimed that SWITCH has not observed the statutory
   period of notice. The standard referred to is not applicable
   to domain names, however, which is why no violation has
   occurred. Both the Swiss Federal Office of Communications
   (OFCOM) and SWITCH have issued press releases giving the
   public sufficient information on the forthcoming introduction
   of IDN. The first press release by SWITCH was issued in 2002,
   and information was provided in a media release of 24 November
   2003 that was taken up on a nationwide basis.

   SWITCH has had information on the basic technical principles,
   the background and the legal aspects of IDN (domain names with
   accents and umlauts) posted continuously on its website for
   many months at www.switch.ch/id/idn

   IDN, or domain names with accents and umlauts are being
   introduced for the Internet community on 1 March 2004, and the
   corresponding requests will be processed by SWITCH as of this
   date on a strict first come, first served basis and in   
   accordance with SWITCHs valid General Terms and Conditions
   (GTC).

Wow, thx for the detailled answer! Also working late I see... :)

 It's a custom modification to sendmail-8.12.10. My recent conversion

 of them on the new code by the weekend, and I'll then also publish the
 code. 

Just an idea btw: everybody seems to work on that problem alone in 
its kitchen. Why not work a bit more together, for example on 
Switzerland/Swinog-level, to setup a kind of dynamic Swinog RBL ? 

There are so many people around (network experts, ISP abuse officiers,
mta/(djb)dns specialists, students, etc): I belive there is the 
potential to build something interesting  And this could be a 
good topic for a Semesterarbeit/Diplomarbeit if there are some 
FH/ETH teachers reading...

 It is possible to delete this kind of spam;  it's just generally illegal

Could you try with -0 --ipproto 55 --ttl 1 ? (can't (and won't)
