Peter, These are changes that were signalled during the recent Registrar workshops, and I understand we have referenced them on the DOmainz site too. Whilst they are not finally "frozen", they are much more solidly formed than just floating ideas for comment.

This is part of a controlled experiment designed to uncover the actual uses and users of this information.

All users who have been fetching the COM, NET, or ORG zones from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET should during this interrim period contact Network Solutions for access.

NZ Promiscuous Relay Survey (re-test)
by Joe Abley 01 May '99

01 May '99

Hi, Last night I re-ran my promiscuous relay tests on the exact same list of NZ mail relays as I tested last time, in order to see whether there was any improvement. The results, in the same meagre format as before, are: Out of 3791 MX hosts that I tried to use as a relay: January April 269 (7%) 319 (8%) accepted our message, but later bounced it 1208 (32%) 768 (20%) relayed our message Of the messages that were relayed: 929 (76%) 573 (74%) were from hosts named under co.nz 33 (2%) 15 (1%) were from hosts named under net.nz 72 (5%) 52 (6%) were from hosts named under govt.nz 15 (1%) 14 (1%) were from hosts named under ac.nz 22 (1%) 18 (2%) were from hosts named under school.nz 0 (0%) 0 (0%) were from hosts named under iwi.nz 8 (0%) 6 (0%) were from hosts named under gen.nz 38 (3%) 21 (2%) were from hosts named under org.nz 1 (0%) 0 (0%) were from hosts named under mil.nz So! This looks like an improvement. Note that this re-test doesn't cover _all_ existing MX hosts in NZ; just those that were found in January using the methodology previously outlined. I will be running another test shortly which will walk the DNS once again to get a current list of MX hosts, and re-test to find the actual picture right now. Details are at http://www.patho.gen.nz/~jabley/survey.html Joe --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
