1. If your Windows set-up has support for displaying Chinese character set, then you will see the corrrect chracters displayed. If you have a Windows system without that support, you will see substitution characters, such as the square box or a question mark.

Irrespective of whether you choose to display the Chinese character set, Complainterator will be able to lookup the contacts file and match on registrar name in order to pick the addressees. (Although you don't see them on campus, Complainterator "sees" them).

2. To make the message a little more user-friendly, Complainterator places the registrar name at the top of the message. Whether or not a Chinese character set name gets transmitted is again a function of whether your email program is configured to accept them.

Version 20.7 (March 20) has some useful improvements to meet users' suggestions.

Thank you!

I don't know if this is caused by the new cpltr version, or if it is a mere coincidence. I can no longer get any traversal output from dnsstuff; all I get is

Maybe the error I got earlier is related to this announcement on the main dnsstuff page

It might say something along the lines of "please shut down the spammed domain google.com and its nameservers, ns1.google.com" etc.

But some spammy nameservers have fairly conservative names and some registrar nameservers have fairly flippant one (as do some registrars -- I mean really, "godaddy.com?")

You can go to www.ipwalk.com and enter a nameserver domain (without the ns1. part) in the "search host" form on the left. Then adjust the graph in the results to show the last 6 months by clicking the "Domains monthly" radio button and hitting "enter." A nameserver with lots of domains that has been around for months is probably hosting real sites as well as spam. (Watch the x-axis on the graph; it may not be zero.) One with only a few domains or one that didn't exist 2 months ago is more likely spammy.

May I voice a tiny enhancement request for the next version of the Complainterator?

Recently, some spammers always uppercase the first character of the domain name. It's stupid, and I hate it, and I always manually correct it after pasting the domain name.

Could Cplrt automatically lower all uppercase characters? (I have no idea what language Cplrt is written in, but most languages provide some tolower() string function.
