A little more info.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:511]$ dig clay-courts.bzam.com
clay-courts.bzam.com. 3663 IN A 198.157.30.5
bzam.com. 3663 IN NS localhost.
localhost. 604800 IN A 127.0.0.1
Ah, a bogus nameserver:

Ah, bounced spam in my mail queue.
I suppose if this were a legitimate outfit, the thing to do is
report the error to the technical contact for the domain (which is
what I did). I imagine that this is the "fix" for this problem,
although it probably won't get very far in this situation.
Question: 65.201.216.121 is mentioned in the error message above,
but doesn't seem to be connected to bzam.com in any way. How is it?
