It needs to be pointed elsewhere. The others, I am not sure. You probably should have an abuse address and a postmaster address, other than that I am not sure what the custom is or what the rfc's say about what email accounts are expected in a domain. Don't forget that your web server (if you have one) may deliver pages that say to contact a certain mail address in the event of problems, obviously that address should be available. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
