- Well coquitlam.bc.ca doesn't give you anything for above. Neither does bc.ca.
-
- The point is that there *is* a registered domain called gov.coquitlam.bc.ca:
-
- Subdomain: Gov.Coquitlam.BC.CA
- Date-Received: 1992/10/15
- Date-Approved: 1992/10/23
- Organization: District of Coquitlam
- Type: Municipal Government
- Description: District of Coquitlam's municipal goverment.
- Tech-Mailbox: JTaylor@Gov.Coquitlam.BC.CA
-
- Not only is there no SOA, and no MX, the domain registration lists information
- that is not usable (the mailbox addresses).
-
- By comparison RFC1386 specifically states:
-
- The key people must have electronic mailboxes (that work).
- and
- The technical contact should have a valid working e-mail address.
- This is necessary in case something goes wrong.
