We get a number of these per week ('we' being an ISP).  The number of false
transfer requests is pretty high -- there's a pretty small number of
requests that we get that are actually valid.

Blocking these, IMHO, would be a Bad Thing.  We're still trying to track
down why incorrect domain transfer requests come through.

(Side note: we have gotten one that was a result of a request by a customer
made a year previous...)
