Not that there may not be genuine offenders in that DB, but have a care.
'rfc-ignorant' has a long and well-documented history of being exactly that.
'ignorant', and exponentially so.
Someone there was..
- too dumb to use the ubiquitous 'whois',
- too lazy to do 'man telnet' for the options it needs to pretend to be whois,
and ended up blacklisting the entire '.de' TLD 'coz they thot the *registrar*
was non-complaint. (.de was, and is fully RFC compliant).
Not for just a few months, either. Google that.
Likewise they list the registrars of several smaller countries for specious
reasoning.
Doesn't say much for their accuracy.
I give 'em great marks for stubborness, though I uspect they did *eventually*
relent and unblock ".de".
