Philip,
I'd suggest dropping this, or preventing it from being used to retrieve
the email address associated with the DNS zone. As can be seen from the
discussion on list, it will only end up being abused to send automatic
"you have a virus" crap to yet another person - and this will directly
encourage people to put unreachable addresses and nonsense in the DNS SOA.
