    Well, that means that your nameserver is down.  And it looks like
    everyone is connecting from an IP address, and using the IP, it doesn't
    know if the address you @request for is the same or similar address that
    you are connecting from, so it sends that message.   I am not sure of the
    specifics to fix it, though, but you just have to do something in the
    account the MOO is running from....

    To put in an email address where it says "Please send mail to , with the
    character name you want.", you have to set $login.registration_address to
    your email address or whichever wizard you want to be the registrar.

    Hope that helped a little. :)
