[policy-wg] RE: Changes to the AfriNIC WHOIS Server

[Frank]

Hi Stephen, 

It does not filter out the e-mail attribute but any other attributes that
contain e-mail attributes such as changed lines.

For example using the object you queried:

FILTERED OUTPUT: 

inetnum:        213.136.106.0 - 213.136.106.255
netname:        AVISONET
descr:          ISP Cote d'Ivoire
country:        CI
admin-c:        CJ1-AFRINIC
tech-c:         AE496-AFRINIC
status:         ASSIGNED PA
mnt-by:         CIT-DT
mnt-lower:      CIT-DT
source:         AFRINIC # Filtered
parent:         213.136.96.0 - 213.136.127.255
 
NOT FILTERED OUTPUT:

inetnum:        213.136.106.0 - 213.136.106.255
netname:        AVISONET

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Frank.
