Domain dell.com is fully registered with the NIC, nameserver
uunet/seismo, forwarder cs.utexas.edu.  "whois dell.com" gives the
correct information.

If mail to .dell.com doesn't work from your site, then your mailer
isn't passing domain mail up to a .com server for resolution.  See the
uucp map file d.Top for more info.  Passing the mail to any internet
site will do in reality.

The uucp maps DO contain the line

uudell	.dell.com

but like all domain names in the uucp maps, this is a convenience and
not authoritative.
