IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTPlease read this important announcement about the upcoming cessation of activities for RFC-Ignorant.org
|
We maintain a number of lists (at present "dsn", "abuse", "postmaster", "bogusmx", and "whois") which contain domains or IP networks whose administrators choose not to obey the RFCs, the building block "rules" of the net.
It is important to note that NOTHING requires ANYONE to comply with an RFC (pedantically a "Request for Comments"), however, the "cooperative interoperability" the net has enjoyed is based upon everyone having the same "rule book" and following it. A listing here simply implies that a site has chosen not to implement the conditions described in a particular RFC. It is, of course, up to other sites to decide for themselves whether or not they wish to communicate with sites that have not chosen to implement, say, RFC2142, and have a working "abuse@domain" address.
Put another way, rfc-ignorant.org does not block anyone. We document who has chosen not to implement certain protocols described in the RFCs, and provide a means for allowing people to determine for themselves if they wish to communicate with non-compliant systems.
The links to your left under "Listing Policy" detail the criteria for any given zone, and also include the specific RFC numbers that are used for determining the policy contained therein.
