Ben,
Your question in comment #46 was:
> How do you explain that a spammer managed to be a RA for Comodo, and how do you
> prevent similar problems in the future, by structural changes?
Taking the "spammer" issue first, Comodo has all of its sales partners enter into a legal agreement with us that they will not (amongst other things) 'engage in ... or post or transmit "junk mail", "spam", "chain letters", or unsolicited mass distribution of email'.
We do not condone the use of spam by our sales partners.
We do still have a subset of our sales partners who are able to act as RAs, but since this debacle over CertStar we have retrofitted our own DV process into the RA's ordering process in the vast majority of cases.
By 'our own DV process', I mean that Comodo performs an automated check of domain control by sending (and confirming receipt of) an email to an address which is either on the domain to be validated or is explicitly mentioned in the WHOIS entry for the domain to be validated.
Regards
Robin
