In the Domain Name System, there are different types of records. For
connecting to a server (like you tried), the A, AAAA, and CNAME
records are relevant; however, mail is handled via MX records. It is
perfectly OK for a domain name to only have an MX record, and it will
be possible to send mail there. There is an MX record for zoulas.com:
$ dig -t MX zoulas.com | grep -A 1 "ANSWER SECTION"
;; ANSWER SECTION:
zoulas.com. 5569 IN MX 50 relay.astron.com.
The zoulas.com address listed in debian/copyright has been used in the
upstream ChangeLog file consistently since 2008-11-06, whereas the
astron.com address mentioned in README was used before. It thus seems
to be correct.
This *might* be a bug in the upstream README instead; however, note
where the MX record points to - I'd think it is plausible that both
addresses still work and are mere aliases.
