(This of course depends on what one's definition of "purely evil" is, but mine includes "anything set up solely for spam, attacks, malware, or resource exploitation".) But your [larger] point remains: while you and I and others are skilled at spotting such domains and at handling them appropriately, we're a tiny fraction of "all Internet users", so it's arguably a service to prevent all of those from blithely accessing the web sites/mail servers/DNS servers/etc. associated with those domains. ---rsk _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
