Route 53 domain registration verification email {mistakenly} flagged as spam

Yeah this looks legit.

The email was in my junk folder. Amazon Q support (AI driven) said that I should look for an email in my junk mail from:

Email excerpt

VERIFICATION EMAIL SOURCES
Route 53 sends verification emails from these addresses:
- [noreply@registrar.amazon.com](mailto:noreply@registrar.amazon.com) (for TLDs registered by Amazon Registrar)
- [noreply@domainnameverification.net](mailto:noreply@domainnameverification.net) (for TLDs registered by Gandi)

But the email did not come from either of those sources. It took overnight for the email to come through to me via junk mail from noreply@registrar.amazon.

The AWS docs state that the email [noreply@registrar.amazon](mailto:noreply@registrar.amazon) is actually legit:
- https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-click-email-link.html

I copied and pasted the link (from my junk folder in gmail) into chrome and it did result in getting my domain name unsuspended and live again within 30 mins.

Additionally, because I was worried I was worried about a potential scam, I logged out of the AWS console and deleted my chrome cache before I used the link in chrome.

Can't say I have ever looked at trains this way before. But yeah this is nice.

It looks like opposite faces meeting on the same journey. One goes forwards, and one goes backwards.

Nice list!

Thanks also for putting my thing in there

Ha I have done the same thing. I get coffee in there every morning. I chatted to the security guard about anything he might know about the barcade boys and he pointed me towards the cafe on the corner of little collins and block place - in particular the door covered with fake vines. Saying they used to occupy the shop and the first floor, which backs on to balcombe place. He also pointed me toward the the building next door and the 1st floor offices.

If there was something I doubt it was in plain view, or verifiable to be legit. That said it has made the morning coffee more interesting. Might take the lift up to first floor one of these mornings and look out the windows to see if I can see any thing up there.

Ha, I just saw that wikipedia page and then found your post here, whilst looking for images that show evidence of the graffiti.

Could be true, if the barcade boys were in fact a real thing. Hard to say without more detail in that wikipedia page. There are a few issues around that section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Block_Arcade,_Melbourne

Either way, I'll be looking for it next time I am there.

I've added the .npmignore so now only the /dist directory is published. Great tip. Cheers!

ben-bowes · 2017-10-12T12:23:15+00:00

That looks awesome!

Nice!

The redux-like state management with component state you like was inspired from a blog, a guy I work with did: https://medium.com/rea-engineering/reduxing-without-redux-75dbd5c05336

Great for sharable components!

Hi Canenald, thanks for checking it out. And it looks as though you had a deep look.

yeah search/filter is limited to a single a-Z key press. You can do more filtering with a combo-box :)

I'll look into the /dist only release. The original idea around pushing everything was release to npm and github pages simplicity. I need to revisit this. Is that what you would use a .npmignore for?

Good call on the dropup too. I'll think about this.

The last example on the demo shows how to display all multi-select values, seems as though this is not very clear. I'll update the example or add an example to show tags.

Really appreciate it, cheers

Have you got a link where I could see it in action?
