Bruce is not guilty, actually nobody is. Please email nonsense directly to me, spare the list.
This thread refers to my classic code used to send local DNS configuration changes off to a configurable email address for incorporation to a central DNS server. This is useful if you don't want your customers to actually run bind on each RaQ but continue to use the UI. It was never a supported or active feature as Bruce has already explained. The inflammatory function name was inappropriate as it seemed to trigger a very strong and immediate response of sorts that I never expected from this list.
