[dns-wg] Deprecation of <auto-inaddr@ripe.net>

["Olaf M. Kolkman" <]

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@localhost e-mail
interface for reverse delegation requests as of July 14, 2004.
Starting from this date, any mail sent to auto-inaddr@localhost will
receive an appropriate redirection message.

Reverse delegation requests can only be submitted to the RIPE Whois
Database by using the auto-dbm@localhost 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
