Dear All, below is the hostcount for July 2002.

The "de" domain shows the highest increase for July with approximately 80,000 hosts more than in June. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The 2002, 06 data for "it" and "no" was reused because the remotely collected data turned out to be incomplete for this month. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es Fco.

E-mail address masquerading for archived mail messages
by RIPE NCC WebMaster 16 Aug '02

16 Aug '02

Dear Colleagues, [Apologies for duplicate mails] Beginning today, 16 August, the RIPE NCC will implement "e-mail address masquerading" for messages displayed on the web site in the RIPE and the RIPE NCC mailing list archives. E-mail masquerading makes it more difficult for spammers to harvest e-mail addresses from the mailing list archives. When masquerading is applied, the e-mail address of the sender will be hidden in the mail archived messages. Those reading archived mail will see a return e-mail address that appears as "<somebody@localhost>". When clicking on this e-mail address, the address of the original sender will be loaded in your mail program, enabling you to send a message to the author. The RIPE NCC has chosen to implement this security measure as there have been various complaints from members of the RIPE community that e-mail addresses were being abused by spammers for Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE). By implementing this security measure we anticipate there will be a sharp reduction to address harvesting of archived e-mail addresses. We will be checking for harvesters who manage to overcome this measure and will take further steps if necessary. E-mail masquerading will be applied to all mailing lists found in the following directories: http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mail-archives/ http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail-archives/ We appreciate your understanding on this matter. Regards Jeroen Bet RIPE NCC WEBMASTER ==================

RIPE 43 meeting info
by RIPE NCC Meeting Registration 05 Aug '02

05 Aug '02

Dear colleagues, Only a few weeks away from RIPE 43. Rhodes is the location for RIPE 43 and all information on travelling and accommodation can be found on our website www.ripe.net. The agenda for the whole week can also be found on our website. Here is a snapshot of some interesting items: SDU/DNS workshop by Edward Lewis (ARIN): A workshop that covers the issues concerning dynamic update, the advantages and the risks. Setting up dynamic update, securing it, creating and managing keys for updates, and authorization configuration will be covered. The workshop will progress from setting up an unsecured dynamic update zone, securing the zone via TSIG and SIG(0), and using the two different authorization policy statements. Tools to be used are BIND 9.3 (snapshot) servers, rndc, dig, and nsupdate. Presentation by Andy Linton (Lionra): "As Internet backbone connectivity becomes more complex, it becomes more difficult to keep track of peering policies with providers and customers. By specifying routing details using RPSL in the public Internet Routing Registry (IRR) providers can use the information to check consistency and build router configurations". "You will learn how to register objects in an RPSL routing registry and gain an understanding of the use of the IRRToolSet". Please see our website for further information www.ripe.net. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us meeting(a)ripe.net. With kind regards, Asha Raghoebarsing Meeting Coordinator

Dear All, below is the hostcount for May 2002. The table shows an increase since last month of over 520,000 (or 3,2%) to a total of almost 17,140,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas.
