Recommendations for DNS

=I would add: "The 'at' ('@') sign of the email address should be
=replaced by a dot, e.g. instead of <hostmaster at foo.bar.com>, the
=address should be specified as hostmaster.foo.bar.com, as given
=in the following example."

  With regard to the '@' sign hack, I'd rather use 'must' than 'should'
  :-) 

  On top of that, I suggest to clearly describe the requirement to quote 
  any "leading" dot(s) that are *not* supposed to be converted to an '@' 
  character.
