Hi Todd, it may be better to have a positive list of items that must be forwarded than a negative list of items that need not be forwarded.
·Duplicate messages: my only question on this is how is it defined? A certain number of messages from the same sender within a defined timeframe (e.g., 24 hours)?
Something to that effect. This would include both multiple versions of the same mail as well as re-sent versions.
·Purchase or business inquiries: I confess that I don't quite understand this one. What is the rationale for this exception? Wouldn't the Beneficial Owner want to receive these?
These may be hard to differentiate from spam, but in most cases these messages are unwanted. This can include offers of similar domains or services, requests for purchase of the domain or similar services.
·Harassing communications: again, my question would be how is "harassing" defined?
As harrassment can take a variety of forms, this should remain an open term.
·Unwanted communications: I think this one is the most problematic exception proposed, and is a non-starter, for several reasons, at least one of which is that it would seem to include notices that include a legal claim (because who really "wants" to receive those?).
In such cases, I could imagine that a service might respond to the complainant that the message was not relayed as the registrant has: a) added the sender to a blocklist of unwanted senders b) requested not to receive messages of that nature c) other. Volker
