Dave- we received a similar solicitation at Artemis Woman

Did these people turn out to be legitimate?

Linda,

As far as I know they haven't asked any of us for any personal info,
money, bank details or anything like that. It appears to have been a
legitimate query. That said, you should still be cautious and make sure
you don't hand over any info that might be used inappropriately.

Regards, Dave.

Please be extra careful. They don't appear to be a CNNICaccredited
registrar.

Also, note that .mobi isn't a Chinese domain name (I know this because
Afilias provides technical operations for mTLD). They may, however, be
trolling for registrants for the "Chinese" version of .mobi, which China
appears to be pressing ahead with in a split root that they're running.

Recently, we ran an 'vacummdb --full' on our database, and I'm finding
that a scrip that use to take just a couple of ours to run, is now
taking 12 hours to run. It's a perl script that does a lot of inserting
into a few tables. I've tried dropping indices to speed up the inserts,
but this does not help. I'm kind of lost as to why this is happening.
Any ideas out there?

Thanks!
Jose

This is not a bug.

You might get some help on pgsql-performance, but you'll need to provide
a lot more information about what your script is doing.

I am an unrelated company that received a similar email:

registrations using the fear factor !!

This is not at all unlikely -- many companies do this. For all that, they
may also be owned by LEALUI Holdings Limited. It's been known to happen.
