So, our friends at Verisign have decided to return a Verisign address for
any DNS lookup that doesn't match a .com or .net domain. Indications are
it's a way to skim lucrative "you missed" hits from AOL and MS. (story:

This breaks at least part of the Verify Return Paths protection. Anyone
have any ideas on how (or if or should) we fix it? If I felt sure they'd
keep the IP the same, I'd blacklist it, but I expect they'll change it alot
as people work around their land grab.
Any way we can block mail authenticated by this latest BS from verisign? I've gotten more spam this morning than in most entire months recently. :(
Everyone, get all your friends too. Let icann.org know exactly what you think about this latest slimey manoever by the company that makes Microsoft blush:

Grrr!
