There isn't always a WHOIS server with information about any given
domain. In those cases the SOA contact mailbox is very useful. I'd
suggest that people always use a real mailbox in their SOAs for that
exact reason.
Memo to self: double check my zones to see if the SOAs are pointing at
the right place...
