ADMIN: opinion needed

[Matthew Carpenter]

I run a respectable amount of RBL's and I get your mail.  Who manages your registration?  I use IARegistry.com for all mine anymore.  They are very responsive and helpful in anything I've needed, including changes in DNS Servers and creating NS Records for my domains when I add new systems.  I don't ever get a "NO concrete ETA from them" as my changes are made and withing 36 hours the changes have taken effect around the world.  That's up to 12 hours for the changes to be made and the typical "24 hours" to propagate to the TLD servers.  (Most changes are made withing 24 hours, because I make them through the Web-interface)

Wait for DNS unless it looks like they are going to drop the ball.  Without a DNS entry, you'll be simply trading SPAM situations.

But you probably want to make sure you demand better response from them or change registrars.  These changes should be complete long before this comment period ends...
