I hope not long! But he says they handle "hundreds" of domains. If they
can't figure out a way to identify at least the subscriber's domain, if
not the subscriber's full address, in their challenges, they are going to
have a lot of angry customers.

Here is an example of one of the challenge messages, in case anyone wants
to know what might be coming their way soon! (The subscriber this affects
is at metriguard.com.)
