I am once again seeking a contact inside the Yahoo DNS team.

Early this morning the "home" record vanished from the "mcom.com" domain. I need it put back.

My last contact there was Paul Frieden, in 2023, but the only email address I have bounces. Ideally I would ask Paul, "Hey, can you introduce me to your replacement?" Failing that, I'd like to find anyone currently on the team responsible for Yahoo's DNS records.

I think you're even completely missing the part that this is about a domain *owned by Yahoo*, not about some sort of DNS management service provided by Yahoo to others. As far as e.g. yahoo.com resolves, this part of Yahoo still exists.

Depending on your service, that may have moved to Turbify.

Good luck. I promise not to offer any more advice or reply.

People "just trying to help" by answering questions I did not ask are the bane of my fucking existence.

I beg of you. All of you. Don't be that guy.

Might be worth asking there for a contact? It's almost certain that someone from the Yahoo DNS team will be on the list or someone will point you in their direction.

I do not have control of the domain. I need to talk to someone who does.

didnt realise yahoo dns was still a thing tbh. wasnt there a bulk transfer away from them?
