It appears that instead of suspending the "service" as ICANN requested, Verisign had attempted to fix the service, by putting a real mailserver up instead of snubby.
from NANOG: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg14177.html Unfortunately, the fix didn't seem to work. When trying to send mail to a perfectly valid address, but one which for some reason the MX record for it resolves to Verisigns data harvester, the mail gets bounced with an incorrect message of: <<< 550 <unknown[*IP address removed*]>: Client host rejected: The domain you are trying to send mail to does not exist. 550 5.1.1 <*VALID recipient address removed*>... User unknown Note to Verisign - the way to fix your "service" is to make it so that DNS requests for non-existant domains return NXDOMAIN. Note to ICANN - another demonstration of what Verisign thinks of your authority... do you guys actually like Verisign spitting in your face like this?
