The
hostmaster@us.ntt.net address
is not the appropriate contact for abuse/SPAM/UCE reports, network problems,
or for zones that do not list
hostmaster@us.ntt.net in the SOA.
To figure out where your inquiry or request should be directed, look at the
SOA of the zone in question.
For example, the address for the hostmaster of 192.168.0.0 is bmanning@isi.edu
and for isi.edu it is koda@venera.isi.edu as taken from the sixth field of the
SOA (with the first '.' changed to an '@') in the output below.
