I thought this might be worth mentioning, since there are a _lot_ of people out there setting up their own systems that are unaware of Internet best practices. All domains should have a "postmaster" and "hostmaster" role mailbox (or distribution list, alias, whatever). The "correct" role mailbox to use given these two required mailboxes would be "hostmaster". Not that it _really_ matters which one you use as long as it's stated in the SOA record. But, as I said, you should have a "hostmaster" mailbox regardless of which is listed in the SOA record. For more info on commonly used role mailboxes (including the above), please see: RFC 2142: "Mailbox names for common services, roles and functions" http://www.imc.org/rfc2142 It's actually very informative reading and only a few pages long. Highly recommended for pretty much everyone :-) $.02 /Mike -- Mikael Olsson, EnterNet Sweden AB, Box 393, SE-891 28 VRNSKVLDSVIK Phone: +46-(0)660-29 92 00 Fax: +46-(0)660-122 50 Mobile: +46-(0)70-66 77 636 WWW: http://www.enternet.se E-mail: mikael.olsson@enternet.se
