.com typos
.cm is the
country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for
Cameroon.
In August 2006, it was reported that the .cm registry had set up a
wildcard DNS record (with the help of a domain broker), so that all unregistered domains in this top-level domain go to a
parking page with paid search links. This was likely intended to take advantage of
typographical errors by users attempting to reach
.com web sites.

The
wildcard DNS record in fact comprises three entries
[2]:
- .cm 900 TXT "v=spf1 -all"
- .cm 900 TXT "v=spf2.0/pra -all"
- .cm 900 A 72.51.27.58
The first two relate to
sender policy framework, although the second is of questionable validity, and mark the wildcarded domains as not originating any email at all. The third causes any non-existent name under .cm to resolve to a search page.
Let's hope the barbecue is on Jeff
