getting the SOA e-mail

[Matthew Thompson]

I want to make sure I don't start getting any mails from Ralf (Nothing
personal I just prefer to try and learn how to do this properly) - is there
anything I can do to check wether my DNS is setup and running as close to
perfect as possible?

fairplay.co.uk
actuality.co.uk
wsdonline.com

Just a few of the domains

M at t :o)

I totally agree. And IF the address is correct, the mailservers of these
morons aren't properly configured. I use the lamers shellscript for
automagically reporting lame delegations and get LOTS of bounces.
