There is a consensus in the working group to make all queries return the relevant IRT records by default, so it's not clear what will happen to the -c flag. I'm waiting for RIPE staff to comment on when it will be possible to implement the changes discussed.

Because of morons writing scripts which send mail to every address they see. > 3 - "abuse-mailbox" field of the IRT object > Why would an IRT object specify an abuse-mailbox, while there's > already an e-mail field that is mandatory ? > An IRT's e-mail address is an abuse-mailbox by definition, isn't it ? Just use it instead of the email attribute, if it exists. -- ciao, Marco -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
