Explanify?!

Did I understand this correctly, If I'm posting for an address at A.com to B.com and there is an error, a mail from [e-mail] will be sent to me as a reply? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.148.208.105 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

rfc-ignorant.org makes no sense

Why is there posted the "rfc-ignorant.org" in the weblinks. This has absolute no information. Also because the Site does not seem to be maintained very often. Who in the world interests him or herself if a domain is postmaster@ ignorant or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.131.180.247 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "rfc-ignorant.org" service quickly became notorious and irrelevant for enforcing made up interpretations that were contrary to best practices. However originally, it was apparently a good-faith effort to warn other system admins about mismanaged domains not worthy of cooperation. At some point in time since your comment, references to rfc-ignorant.org were removed from the page. ~2026-25548-8 (talk) 21:47, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained scare-banner added in 2014.

Back in 2014, someone added a scare-banner tag that this page relied on too few sources. But since no explanation was added to this talk page, I suggest that the tag be removed by a logged in editor as soon as possible ~2026-25548-8 (talk) 21:49, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
