The last discussion of register.com I saw in the archives was in
January. I just had a similar experience trying to add SPF
records for my domains.
I know I could move my DNS to zoneedit or something, but that
seems like letting register.com off the hook. Moving the domains
to another registrar, as mentioned previously, would be a pain.
Register.com claims to manage 3 million, so this would seem to be
a major advocacy issue for SPF supporters. Not an issue to be
ignored or lightly dismissed. Convincing register.com not just
to support TXT records, but to maybe even add a version of the
SPF wizard that helps users update the records would be a huge
boost to SPF adoption.
Make it easy, and they will come.
Yeah, I was one of those people.
We moved our DNS services to DNSMadeEasy.com.
Good chance that we'll be moving our registar records as well. I don't
hold much hope that Register.com will catch a clue unless one of the big
ISPs holds their feet to the fire. (Our complaints probably never made
it past the front line support people.)
