The basis for your entire argument that my nameservers are insecure (and therefore not respectable) is that they don't run DNSSEC and as such are open to spoofing. Well, your arguments about DNS being insecure do have some merit and I decided to do something about it. I have been playing with DNSSEC today for the first time (it's pretty neat) as I've been able to get BIND 9.3.0 to compile. It's been a very interesting experience, thank you very much for making me get round to it at last. To check that my installation was working (I'm not running signed zones yet btw so am still insecure by your standards) I was able to query the SOA for a zone I know to be secured with DNSSEC, nlnetlabs.nl I get the following results; Code:
espresso:~$ dig @open.nlnetlabs.nl +dnssec +multiline nlnetlabs.nl soaI then went on a rambling and meandering tour of the internet looking at some other nameservers which run primary DNS for the following zones. Here are the abridged results (please feel free to verify these results for accuracy)
It's possible that Verizon.net may still be letting through some email from these rogue DNS operators so perhaps as one of their customers you could contact them and ask them to block all email from these domains as it's almost certainly spam. Until such time as all these sources are blocked it might be a good idea to set your email client to delete all email from these domains automatically and certainly don't believe anything you might happen to read in email from these sources. I'd love to contact them myself but as you know I'm already considered to be subhuman and therefore blocked. Things were so much easier when I only had an ARPAnet email address to worry about!

Sarah, I am astounded by your knowlegde! This thread has been an awesome read for me so far!

Yes, Sarah's ability to look things up on the Internet are only exceeded by Sarah's ability to write posts containing communications that are knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, obscene, profane, threatening, harassing, offensive, vulgar, abusive, hateful or bashing. Gee I wonder where those words came from?
I admitted earlier that I posted rashly and I'm sorry for it. Flyertalk doesn't need that and I shouldn't have reacted to Sarah's awful post in the first place. But it just keeps getting worse from Sarah. |
OK, I have no idea what is going on here, I thought I was learning something, but obviousy there is something I am missing.
I think I'll leave this thread where it is, and I will get the last words; Thanks to all that participated, but it doesn't look like we are heading anywhere good with this... --Scott |
