The DNS provider I recently switched to surprised me with a policy:

To create records for more than one domain, you need to write a personal support email.

They say it's to raise DNSSEC awareness, but I think it's also a robot captcha.

Are you perchance talking about deSEC? I've also switched to them, and thought that it was too much work to send an email and wait for replies, so I ended up using dummy inboxes for my other, lesser important domains.

Though I guess it's still a good thing they do this? At the time I remember being mildly inconvenienced, but not enough to actually care. I just remember thinking, "How is this nonprofit going to handle all that support volume?".

That kind of captcha has a very short half life. Software ate the world now AI is eating software

> To create records for more than one domain, you need to write a personal support email.

I'm not all familiar with this so I don't understand why it's not a ticket or any other non-automated action even for a single domain ?

I mean what is "the standard" that would actually allow a robot to register a domain to a DNS registry ?
