Domain Name Server Files
For example:
jim IN MB jiffy.kentcomm.com.
A Mailbox record (MB) lists the machine where a user wants to receive mail. The name
field is the user’s logon password (or correspondent name in KentComm Guardian
machines); the machine field denotes the machine to which mail is to be delivered.
Mail Box names should be unique to the zone.
MR—Mail Rename Name
The format of this record is:
name [ttl] addr-class MR corresponding-MB
For example:
Postmaster IN MR jim
The Mail Rename record (MR) can list aliases for a user. The name field lists the alias
for the name listed in the fourth field corresponding-MB, which should have a
corresponding MB record.
MINFO—Mailbox Information
The format of this record is:
name [ttl] addr-class MINFO requests maintainer
For example:
BIND IN MINFO BIND-REQUEST kjd.BigCityU.Edu.
The Mail Information record (MINFO) creates a mail group for a mailing list. This
resource record usually is associated with a mail group Mail Group, but may be used
with a mail box record.
The name field specifies the name of the mailbox. The requests field specifies
where mail, such as requests to be added to a mail group, should be sent. The
maintainer field is a mailbox that receives error messages. This mailbox is
particularly appropriate for mailing lists when errors in member’s names are reported to
a person other than the sender.
MG—Mail Group Member
The format of this record is:
mail-group-name [ttl] addr-class MG member-name
For example:
IN MG Bloom
The Mail Group (MG) lists the members of a mail group.
