For some unknown reason, chessclub.com never gave timestamp the ability to
look up hosts by name. So you have to give the numeric IP4 address of
chessclub.com instead of the string "chessclub.com". The current numeric
IP4 address of chessclub.com is 45.55.120.214. See this example output:
mann@sandman:~/chess/timestamp$ host chessclub.com
chessclub.com has address 45.55.120.214
chessclub.com mail is handled by 10 chessclub-com.relay1g.spamh.com.
chessclub.com mail is handled by 30 chessclub-com.relay1i.spamh.com.
chessclub.com mail is handled by 20 chessclub-com.relay1h.spamh.com.
