 Either of these, I think the latter is probably more common of the two.
 
 Or follow this:
 
 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2142.txt

Or the advice (full disclosure: co-author ) in SSAC SAC44 ( 
http://www.icann.org/en/committees/security/sac044.pdf ) and SAC 40 ( 
http://www.icann.org/en/groups/ssac/documents/sac-040-en.pdf ) which recommend 
(amongst other things):

Registrants should consider the benefits of using mail domains for contact 
emails that are managed separately from the domains that can be accessed from 
an individual domain registration account so that an attacker cannot interfere 
with a registrar's ability to contact the registrant. Registrants should also 
consider other measures to mitigate this threat. For example, a registrant 
could distribute its domain name registrations across multiple domain name 
registration accounts (and possibly across different registrars). Example 
Networks, Inc. could manage example.com using account “examplenetworks1” and 
example.net using account “examplenetworks2”. Email addresses for points of 
contact for example.com could then be assigned from a mail domain operated 
under example.net. Similarly, email addresses for points of contact for 
example.net could be assigned from a mail domain operated under example.com.


It is, er, [ sad | hilarious ] when your domain malfunctions and no-one can 
contact you to let you know that this has happened because the contact is 
within the busticated domain…

[dns-operations] DNS and Email

2013-01-10 Thread Feng He
I found a interesting case that, most people on DNS lists have been 
using the email accounts from their own domains.
But people on many other lists use the email from general providers like 
Gmail, yahoo etc.
So that indicates DNS operators most likely play well on their own 
domains than choosing a general email account.


And I have a question that, what is the good username for showing in the 
whois info for domain contact email?

ad...@domain.com
dnsad...@domain.com
hostmas...@domain.com
...
?

Regards.

I use something I don't use anywhere else. That way if I get spam at 
that address I know exactly where it came from. :) ... and yes, it 
happens, maybe once or twice a month, as opposed to the dozens/day I get 
at my regular address.
