But in most cases a NZIC link hidden in the DNS is paid for by the owner of
that domain. Unless you put third parties in your own domain this is not a
problem. And even if you do, you can presumably remonstrate with them about
it. The problem with mailservers is when they start routing messages through
NZIC links where neither end is accountable for the cost.
