There's going to be quite a challenge to lock those open resolvers down, and we're debating how to do it at the moment - the industry comms process will be interesting, I'm sure, and I'm sure many people on this list will have a busy day fixing up old boxes that can't when our messages have been ignored:-)
Would be interested in any experience people have with something similar..
A year or two ago we restricted access to a previously open resolver that had been in circulation for about a decade. Although we tried quite hard to communicate with everyone it resulted in a busy day and some grumpy people. I don't think there's any real way around this problem. I was about to write that I didn't think anyone should be surprised today to have open resolvers disappear, but just received a fairly indignant email from a current customer in response to our request for them to disable an open resolver, so, well, um... I sent them Dave's links - thanks Dave :^) Cheers, Gerard
