Agreed.
None the less, a number of domains do use that SOA address as their technical contact address, and the use of HOSTMASTER as there SOA address does not dominate.
And we've agreed that that's not relevant. But thank you for mentioning it again.
Well, you can choose to be compliant with standards, or you can choose not to... probably have taken far less time to verify whether the RFC2142 aliases were accepted by Domainz's mail server.
I shun the notion that we are somehow acting in contravention of some "alias" standard -- thus there is no need for Domainz to verify anything.
Guess we'll just add that to the list of standard requirements that Domainz feels they are too good for. Frankly I'm surprised that you are happy with the remarkable inflexibility of UDP to run DNS over, and haven't invented some superior scheme to meet your own particular requirements.
I am confident that our service provider delivers any mail sent to any of these "standard" recommended aliases to Domainz, and equally confident that it finds its way into an individual's in-tray.
Again, it was the aliases _required_ by RFC2142 I was talking about, not those _recommended_ by RFC2142.
If I can stray to the less serious for a moment Joe....software piracy, denial of service attacks and pornography.
Thanks for the link, I see I am in real need of education, life really has passed me by...
If you want to keep people in any particular segment of life happy, it can sometimes pay to learn a little about their associated culture. On the other hand, if you don't care about keeping your customers happy, you can ignore their advice and laugh at their petty requests.
