Mediaone

[Jerry Feldman]

The mail addr field is actually the address (with dots instread of @) of the 
maintainer of the DNS for mediaone. Typically is is 
hostmaster.<domain>.
This record indicates that there is no mx record for ultra.ne.mediaone.net.
Otherwise you would see something like:
> tarnhelm.blu.org
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

tarnhelm.blu.org        canonical name = blu.org
blu.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = blu.org
blu.org nameserver = ns2.usdatacenters.com
blu.org nameserver = ns3.usdatacenters.com
blu.org nameserver = blu.org
blu.org internet address = 216.235.254.230
ns2.usdatacenters.com   internet address = 216.235.240.12
ns3.usdatacenters.com   internet address = 216.235.240.16
