Rick,
It is one thing to break the report down for us. It would be quite
another for you to file it with any RBL lists. I would prefer you give
it to us and let us deal with it. I think Mark was suggesting that you
start auto-reporting.
And I think overall it is a step in the right direction. I know we will
be in touch.
Rob.

rob,
I've already got one request to break the report out by name servers so
registrars can understand whose infrastructure is at risk.
really, i hope this kind of thing helps registrars and the industry at
large.
