There is an error around the dns setup using the "virtual" name servers.

I have set up a new set of name servers. The SOA entry sais, there should be a [email protected]inname email address. But this e-mail does not exists.

This error prevents me to accept any .hu domain names. The Hungarian registration system checks this mail address and doesn't allow to register the domain.
There is a script for checking the DNS setting, here is a part of its answer:

M-PMAI -I- [erke.hu] checking postmaster e-mail at erke.hu...
M-VOUT -I- [erke.hu] address verification: is syntactically correct
M-MXOK -I- [erke.hu] MX server okay
M-SMAI -I- [erke.hu] checking SOA mail [email protected]
M-VRRT -W- [erke.hu] retrying verify 1
M-VOUT -I- [erke.hu] address verification: relaying to prohibited by administrator
User unknown

M-SOAM -E- [erke.hu] SOA mail address check failed


---
Here is the host check:

schawo@aranylaz:~$ host -t any erke.hu ns1.saturnnetworks.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.saturnnetworks.net
Address: 66.98.138.29#53
Aliases:

erke.hu mail is handled by 0 erke.hu.
erke.hu SOA ns1.saturnnetworks.net. root.ns1.saturnnetworks.net. 2003081900 7200 3600 1209600 86400
erke.hu name server ns1.saturnnetworks.net.
erke.hu name server ns2.saturnnetworks.net.
erke.hu has address 66.98.138.29


Please try to resolve my trouble as fast as possible, because i am loosing customers.

Thanks,
Kornel

Hello,

You can either change the value in /var/named/saturnnetworks.net.db .. or you can send us your root info to [email protected], and we can do it for you. We'll look into changing how that's setup for the next release if its causing people problems.
