I must admit, this problem is receding, from the last time I checked. Every time I send out a netwide delete / action, I get some servers that refuse my job on the basis that I am not a registered NAD. Last term ( 3 + months ago ) that number was over 15, this time it is much better. I have checked the servers that gave me the errant reply with the RELEASE command, and the results are herein displayed.
