Re: Verisign Spamming by Snail Mail

[Mark Petersen]

Anyone been receiving these from an outfit called "Interland"? These idiots are flat out farming the WHOIS. A bunch of my clients are starting to receive snail spam from them on first time registrations. They're even ignorant enough to send then directly to us on domains we host. (We're the tech contact) I sure wish ICANN would grow some back bone and put a stop to this kind of thing. -Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Allan To: Doug Friend Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 5:54 AM Subject: Re: Verisign Spamming by Snail Mail We have had other reports of this - was this name ever at Verisign?
