You're just as bad as Joe with the CC list, dude.

My guess is that almost everyone on your To: list has /dev/null'ed your e-mails 
by now.

Nice catch on the name server error on AMERICAN-WEBMASTERS. Caused by an extra 
S at the end of the name
servers - due to me not wanting to wear my reading glasses when editing zone 
files.

All fixed now.

As for ADNS.NET - Its not supposed to be returning those other two records - 
they are ZONEEDIT name servers.
Can't return them if its not authoritative for them.

Have a nice day.

Dr. Joe and all,

 Thank you Dr. Joe for stepping up to the plate and for your candor.
I am sure that many if not most appreciated you doing so.

 It has also come to my attention unfortunately and sadly that
Mr. Palmers own Domain Name for his Email address is a
rather horrendous mess as well, see:
http://member.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnslite.php?r=homepage&domain=american-webmasters.net

and
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=american-webmasters.net&token=258027474494427c2c65999134c3d019

As such, and quite frankly, I believe this Domain Name is abusive and
should
be taken down immediately, so that no other unwitting user will be
damaged as a innocent result of accessing same.  We are now blocking
any and all access to american-webmasters.net, and encouraging all
other affiliates to do so as well post haste so as to at least limit the
potential
damage and exposure.  Seems that ADNS is hosting this Domain Name
and it too should be reviewed closely.  See:
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=american-webmasters.net&server=&email=on&token=25001979237b43c226b5369338ee9019

also see:
http://private.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=adns.net&token=25706ac052c543d323b561923b678019

which indicates no NS records and as such makes it questionable that
such may be pointing to non authoritative name servers, problem records
are Nameserver 209.62.64.46 did not provide IPs for all NS records.
Nameserver 216.122.7.155 did not provide IPs for all NS records.
This of course opens up the very great possibility for many sorts of
IP originated attacks.  Not a good thing!

 This sort of thing is something ICANN could handle right away,
but my guess is, and I hope I am wrong, is that they will do nothing
what so ever and the user community at a minimum will remain
particularly exposed to this particular hazzard/danger.

I think it's time for me to step in and defend the INS (inclusive name
space) community before Mr. Palmer makes a dogs breakfast of it.

I have asked the TLDA president in waiting, Mr. Gene Marsh to
represent us - but he's a bit shy and I humbly take on the task.

Please note that Mr. Palmer is not representative of the INS community
nor is he our spokesperson.

Mr. Palmer is an independent TLD operator associated with a scam over
in Europe we all call the HEX - i.e. www.inaic.com and
www.unifiedroot.com etc.  He has little to no support in the INS
community and his recent travails into INS email systems is more scam
then good intentions.

I was responsible for putting a stop to the scam Mr. Palmer is
involved with and according to Palmer he has lost a $100,000 USG
because of my interventions.  Thats why he is always making
allegations against me and other he feels I'm associated with.  Simple
paranoia.  He even has claimed I'm an ICANN operative.  Imagine that.
Me an ICANN operative.  Those of you now rolling on the floor laughing
have every right to enjoy that giggle.

In any case the INS as represented by the TLDA www.tldainc.org is an
association of TLD operators and the INS root is essentially a root
that sees all TLDs - this includes the chinese, arabic etc. TLDs and
many more.

kindest regards
joe baptista

p.s. please feel free to continue feeding the Palmer troll.  He will
provide us with endless hours of amusement.  Or in the alternative you
might consider having mercy and refuse to feed him saving him what
dignity he has left.

           John, One does not correct PR problems by pointing out how right 
they are. When you first put this out there, you did
           nothing to aid anyone but INS sophisticates in the use of your 
concept. I was going to ask you to step in down a notch
           and make it user friendly, but I knew your response. Then you use the name 
"tool" to describe what you think is a
           weakness. A weakness created by your lack of human compatability. 
Now what is the chance that a man as brilliant as you
in your area,, is also brilliant in interpersonal relations. Hint-- Not likely.The genius often comes not in knowing ones
           capabilities, but in knowing ones incapacities.In securities and 
security they do not look at what is secure - but what
           is insecure. If you are this blind to this glaring problem with your 
initiative how can anyone rely on the reliability
           and security of your networks?

                 Hold on just a minute: Someone points dnsstuff.com at the 
WRONG domain (Not the one that has anything to do
                with e-mail at all), and it comes upwith some lame complaints 
about some TTLs being outside of some range on
                the WRONG domain, and then when I point thisout, you jump all 
over me for correcting the error that Jeff
                Williams (a Baptista synchophant) makes? And that makes me 
stubborn/condescending how? I'll translate for you:
                All of those involved in this thread (running the bogus 
dnsstuff query, and then jumping on me when Icorrect
                your facts) are interested in seeing the INS fail.  OK, do I 
get to take a shot at you now? Lets see - Why are
                you using a yahoo account? What are you trying to hide?Why 
should we trust you? Yahoo accounts (like GMAIL) are
                used by spammers and 419 scammers... Sound unfair? How do you 
think you sound to me?

                     Dear John, I got this gal who lives right off Pennsylvania 
ave in DC. She kind of is in the thick of
                     things there. She has worked some sticky pol. campaigns. 
Bright as hell. Picked up a dual major BS in
                     poly sci and pr, got a fancy Masters in PR and 
international law or something, all of it Cum laudee
                     dah. Part of the Amer. Uni system there. She has a knack 
for making people like who they want to
                     hate. Stays in the background, loves a darkhorse. Point 
is. She don't need you but you need her. Your
                     style of public relations can only lead to an abysmal 
martyrdom.. I would not even wager on your
                     chance in hell of making your program work with your 
condescending, everyone else is an idiot
                     attitude. Any further advice will cost ya. But I reckon 
your too stubborn to ask for it.

                          Nope - Lion-Mail.net is configured exactly as its 
supposed to be. The ignorant
                          tool
                          at dnsstuff.com doesn't know what its talking about.

                          Of course there are no MX records for Lion-Mail.net - 
you aren't supposed
                          to send
                          mail TO the Lion-Mail.net domain - E-Mail addresses 
for Lion-Mail are in the
                          ..LION TLD. www.lion-mail.net is only a crutch portal 
for people who still
                          haven't configured their machines to use an INS 
resolver.

                          As for SPAM, LionMail has a zero tolerance for 
spammers and terminates accounts
                          of spammers
                          immediatly. We have outbound as well as inbound spam 
filters.
