MINFO (mailbox information) resource record

MINFO (mailbox information) resource record

MINFO creates a mail group for a mailing list. This resource record is usually associated with a mail group, but it can be used with a mailbox record. The ``name'' specifies the name of the mailbox. The ``requests'' field is where mail such as requests to be added to a mail group should be sent. The ``maintainer'' is a mailbox that should receive error messages. This is particularly appropriate for mailing lists when errors in members' names should be reported to a person other than the sender. Here is an example of this record:

   name  {ttl}  addr-class  MINFO   requests       maintainer
   Bind         IN          MINFO   BIND-REQUEST   dave.mynet.COM
