would the appropiate people please fix this as soon as possible? we have been getting SMTP connections from an increasing number of Internet hosts to the address 128.127.64.2 (128.127.0.0 is ftp's class B network.) after much looking around in the DNS universe, and getting nowhere, we decided, at some effort, to create the subnet and machine to find out what is going on. from the mail that we recieved, we found who the addresse was, anf from that we have found the following: Query id 1281: 1 Questions, 1 Answers, 2 Name Servers, 3 Additional flags: <RESPONSE><CAN_RECURSE><DO_RECURSE> MX (15) type Resource Record: sinet.ad.jp, class: Internet (1) Valid 0.91 hr (3264 sec): MX Pref = 100, NAME: mtfuji.gw.u-tokyo.ac.jp NS (2) type Resource Record: JP, class: Internet (1) Valid 143.91 hr (518063 sec): DOMAIN NM: JP-GATE.WIDE.AD.JP NS (2) type Resource Record: JP, class: Internet (1) Valid 143.91 hr (518063 sec): DOMAIN NM: ACRUX.IS.S.U-TOKYO.AC.JP Address (1) type Resource Record: mtfuji.gw.u-tokyo.ac.jp, class: Internet (1) Valid 0.91 hr (3264 sec): Addr: 128.127.64.2 Address (1) type Resource Record: JP-GATE.WIDE.AD.JP, class: Internet (1) Valid 143.91 hr (518063 sec): Addr: 133.4.1.1 Address (1) type Resource Record: ACRUX.IS.S.U-TOKYO.AC.JP, class: Internet (1) Valid 143.91 hr (518063 sec): Addr: 133.11.7.185 from the above i have extracted the following useful information: MX (15) type Resource Record: sinet.ad.jp, class: Internet (1) Valid 0.91 hr (3264 sec): MX Pref = 100, NAME: mtfuji.gw.u-tokyo.ac.jp Address (1) type Resource Record: mtfuji.gw.u-tokyo.ac.jp, class: Internet (1) Valid 0.91 hr (3264 sec): Addr: 128.127.64.2 mail to the postmasters for the sites sending us mail has gone unanswered for 2 days. now, to be honest, this isnt *really* screwing me too much, it isnt my mail that is ending up on the wrong side of the world. i am trying to get into contact with the people in japan. until then, connectivity to sinet.ac.jp will be sent to a PC running our SMTP package. we will be forwarding the mail messages on when it is straightened out, but i dont have any idea how long this will take. stev knowles "suffering the slings and arrows of outragous fortune"

> would the appropiate people please fix this as soon as possible? I fixed my typo in database for address of mtfuji.gw.u-tokyo.ac.jp. 128.127.64.2 should be 128.167.64.2. If your DNS still have the wrong RR, would you please send me more informations? > i am trying to get into contact with the people in japan. until then, > connectivity to sinet.ac.jp will be sent to a PC running our SMTP > package. we will be forwarding the mail messages on when it is > straightened out, but i dont have any idea how long this will take. Thank you very much for your efforts. Atsushi Onoe
