Re: Request to Move RFC 954 to Historic Status


Hi Hugo,

I think it would be a mistake to move 954 to historical status without replacing it with a more complete RFC. If someone would like to take that project on, I would be willing to participate (that's why I joined this list).

I would be interested to know what large organizations are using the rfc-ignorant BL to block email. None of the admins that I know use it for blocking email and AFAIK it was never really intended for that use.

Hi.
This is my first mail to this list. My name is Hugo Salgado,
and i work on NIC Chile, the .CL cctld administrator.
Since few weeks ago we've been receiving complaints for the
mail-blocking list that www.rfc-ignorant.com mantains.
That list is blocking entire ccTLDs that are not respecting
the RFC 954 on their whois service.
As you were discussing before, that RFC lacks of things like
privacy policies, anti-data-mining for spammers, etc.
In .CL we don't publish the email addresses for our registrants,
and that is the cause that rfc-ignorant is blocking the entire
.cl email addresses.

Is there an RFC that overrides the very old 954 ?? i know that
.PL is listed in the blocked countries, for the same privacy
policies in whois.dns.pl, but that was dicussed before in this
list ??

Thanks, and sorry for my spanglish ;)
