    Help me keep home.mcom.com online.

    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.

    @jwz that zone appears to be delegated to AWS. do yahoo just resell R53 or is this a recent change? in any case if you have access to the AWS console you can add it back.
    didnt realise yahoo dns was still a thing tbh. wasnt there a bulk transfer away from them?

      @kalfeher Please don't explain DNS to me. I do not have control of the domain. I need to talk to someone who does.

                  @jwz I don't have a contact but a useful port of call with these types of things is often the NANOG list - https://nanog.org/resources/nanog-mailing-lists/. 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.

                    @kalfeher I had a very specific question that you can't answer. 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.

                      @mjturner @jwz Failing that, the SOA record for yahoo.com looks better than the one for mcom.com for advertising a real-looking hostmaster contact address; if you're lucky, that might get your request in front of the right sympathetic human.

                        @jwz You are unlikely to find a contact at Yahoo DNS because it no longer exists. Depending on your service, that may have moved to Turbify.

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

                                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.

                                See the update at the end of https://www.jwz.org/blog/2008/03/happy-run-some-old-web-browsers-day/
