Dear Colleagues, (Apologies for duplicate messages) Further to our message sent on April 26[1] we would like to inform you that we will discontinue use of the <auto-inaddr@ripe.net> e-mail interface for reverse delegation requests as of July 14, 2004. Starting from this date, any mail sent to <auto-inaddr@ripe.net> will receive an appropriate redirection message. Reverse delegation requests can only be submitted to the RIPE Whois Database by using the <auto-dbm@ripe.net> e-mail interface or by using one of the other update mechanisms such as web-updates[2]. For more information about the authentication mechanism, please see http://www.ripe.net/reverse -- Olaf Kolkman New Projects, RIPE NCC [1] Announcement: New Policy and Procedures for Reverse DNS Requests http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/dns-wg/2004/msg00024.html [2] Webupdates interface to the RIPE Whois Database. http://www.ripe.net/perl/webupdates.pl If you are reading this or related posts from the archive all occurrences of ripe.net in e-mail addresses have been replaced by localhost.
