Robert,

Alfred is still unable to get mail through to Microsoft (or
Hotmail, etc.) servers.   He has cross-checked your list against
our working version of draft-klensin-ftp-registry-02, so it
definitely helps.  That working version contains an integrated
version of the registry table along with a significant number of
other changes (some from me, some from Alfred, some from Alexey,
and some from others).

William,

Thanks.

If you don't mind, and to save duplication of effort, please
hold off until -02 appears and take a look at the documentation
requirements that appear there for registrations.   If you don't
think they are reasonable, we should discuss that.  If they are,
then you will have a reference point for the wu-ftpd material as
well as a somewhat-revised description of the registry contents.

The state of -02 at the moment is that I'm studying some new
material Alfred prepared (if it wasn't clear from the above,
this has turned into a joint effort) and he may be reviewing
some of mine.  I hope to have it posted relatively soon.
However, this isn't the highest priority for either of us so
please be patient.

best,
   john
