okay, I begin to understand that DNSREPORT/DNSSTUFF is having trouble dealing with the DNS information
<G>
You're wrong here. Those sites are behaving 100% correctly.
Correct. The *parent* servers for .de are (incorrectly, IMHO) returning an A record for www.grepel.de. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=www.grepel.de&type=A will show the same.- but I can tell you TWO things with confidence: a) Internet Explorer with the Windows Resolver CAN resolve: http://www.grepel.de/
b) IMAIL with Windows DNS CAN deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (using the MX record "grepel.de MX 10 mailin.webmailer.de.")
Yes -- again, because the .de parent servers are returning an MX record.
Not bad for a domain, which you insists doesn't even exists, eh? <G>
It doesn't exist, really. <G>
"Issues" is an understatement. According to the Internet, the domain is registered (see http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?domain=grepel.de ), but does not exist in DNS. It sounds like the .de parent servers know the A records for www.grepel.de and grepel.de because they were used at one point as NS records. But it is reporting that the grepel.de zone no longer exists.So - while I start to see that there may be some "issue" with that domain (e.g, possibly no SOA and/or NS records?) - it DOES exist and it DOES have MX and A records.
It sounds like the .de zone may be FUBAR. Either that, or it is set up so that the .de parent servers return data for some of the .de subdomains, which is a very bad practice (in that case, you can't do a DNS report on those domains -- because the zones do not exist).
Really strange, indeed.
