- That's odd. When I ask nic.ddn.mil whois ibm, I get 62 responses.
- If I narrow the search by asking whois dom ibm, I get 3 matches:
-
- Whois: dom ibm
- IBM Electronic Vendor Support (SVO-DOM) SVO.COM
- IBM Information Network (IBMMAIL-DOM) IBMMAIL.COM
- International Business Machines (IBM-DOM) IBM.COM
-
- I would suspect that the full record for either ibmmail-dom or ibm-dom
- would give you good addresses for a postmaster inquiry.
-
- However, you can save yourself some time by writing to IBM's server
-
- The WHOIS facility is: nic@vnet.ibm.com - with WHOIS lastname, first
- as the subject or in the body of the text. This will only provide the
- name of those accessible by vnet.ibm.com (over 15,000 tho) and a couple
- of other gateways. If the IBMer isn't enrolled, you can tell them to
- issue the following command to find out how to enroll:
- TELL NIC at INTERNET GET HOWTO INTERNET
