Suresh I don’t think many registrars are trying to abdicate responsibility BUT The hosting provider for a domain name has a lot more control over things than the registrar. As a registrar of record for a domain name I only have the “nuclear option”. Compromised sites account for a lot of the spam we see coming from our network (or at least trying to).

IPs matter. So do domains. So do nameservers. So do [a bunch of other things]
Registrars can’t abdicate their responsibility by claiming spam is entirely related to IP addresses.

Spam is not a domain thing, it is an IP thing.
So why are we focused on domain names? a name is nothing, it cannot route, a number routes.
