[AusNOG] .au Password Recovery

[Ted Cooper]

Works quite well. This is a huge step forward from the phone call, or go
talk to the existing recalcitrant registrar first method.

In regards to where the email has gone, this is still available via the
web based whois system. Wish list for the same page, but still available
for now.

I also ponder the Requestor Name field. Neither it nor an IP address is
included in the email or the linked page. They weren't part of the
previous system either so it's more of a curiosity.

Having a link/menu on each of these sites that links to the others would
be useful. eg Jump between whois and password recovery.

For your filers and whitelists, emails are currently sent from Amazon
AWS hosts, with sending email address of support at afilias.com.au. Emails
are not DKIM signed. Sending host is specifically set in SPF:
H=ws-us-east-lb-1.afilias.tech (ws-us-east-lb-10.afilias.info) [52.5.176.76]

SPF does include an IPv6 address, however it doesn't appear to be
currently in use; mine came over IPv4 and there's no PTR or AAAA for it.
2600:1f18:271c:c801:2d13:426:efbf:9828

This is still an immense relief to have password recovery over email
though! Different but workable.
