When locating contacts for domains with stale TLSA records, I find each of: 1. postmaster@ 2. SOA RR 'mrname' 3. WHOIS technical contact when published 4. Contact data on the domain's website to work a non-trivial fraction of the time. Between them, most domains turn out to be reachable. The SOA 'mrname' is closest to the subject of this thread, and while often unusable[1], is also often enough the only working contact. Perhaps the SOA 'mrname' could get more publicity as worthy of proper upkeep. If you want more info from the registrant, send a query there. For data kept by the registrar, we're often out of luck these days. -- Viktor. [1] Even when notionally the right address, the SOA 'mrname' is not always read, and may (e.g. <tech@ovh.net>) simply bounce all messages because the mailbox is over quota. On the other hand some other "provider" contact addresses work reliably.
