If you try to open a host from that list in IE11, it will open in Edge instead. The process really is just sending them an email, so I did it for my personal site which still received occasional IE11 traffic from "yesteryear's megacorp" IP ranges. I don't have enough IE11 traffic to judge if it worked for these poor users, though it does on my Windows PC. Given my effort was literally sending a single email and wait a month, I am happy even if it helps only a few people.
- babypuncher 4y agoI prefer to let IE11 users just sit there wondering why the webpage is not working.
- dane-pgp 4y agoDon't you think that's a bit cruel, babypuncher?
- OJFord 4y agoFunny process for it! I wonder why not just a TXT record? No list to maintain for them, no email admin, quicker (from desire to in-effect), etc.
- zinekeller 4y ago> I wonder why not just a TXT record? Something similar to robots.txt? Yeah, I'm not sure why MS didn't allow that one. Actual DNS TXT records? Oh boy, you haven't experience enterprise-level DNS filtering (or let's be honest stupidity).
- OJFord 4y agoI did mean the latter, but true /.well-known/ms-needs-edge or something would be better too. > Oh boy, you haven't experience enterprise-level DNS filtering (or let's be honest stupidity). Seems not!
- zinekeller 4y agoYeah, I won't name names but a well-known firewall provider also interecpts MX records (apparently to prevent spam mails sent from the firewalled network, but blocking port 25 would be much better if that's your goal).
