Does anyone know what their mail infrastructure looks like? From what I can see, they don't even have an MX record for fema.gov...
No MX record, and the A record for fema.gov does not accept smtp traffic.
# telnet fema.gov smtp Trying 205.128.1.44... telnet: connect to address 205.128.1.44: Operation timed out telnet: Unable to connect to remote host # Then again, it might be that they use different email addresses ? @dhs.gov ?
Their "contact us" page on fema.gov lists several @fema.gov addresses, so I doubt it.
fema.gov nameserver = ns.fema.gov fema.gov nameserver = ns2.fema.gov ns.fema.gov internet address = 166.112.200.142 ns2.fema.gov internet address = 162.83.67.144
Looks Solaris'ish

Well, how is any automated system supposed to find it? Sheesh. Apparently, that host accepts mail to postmaster; we'll see if it is actually delivered/read/responded to. -- hesketh.com/inc. v: +1(919)834-2552 f: +1(919)834-2554 w: http://hesketh.com antispam news, solutions for sendmail, exim, postfix: http://enemieslist.com/
