I know that subdomains may begin with a digit now but I don't see anything to make the underscore legal. The definitions talk about ldh-str (letter digit hyphen). Perhaps Hac.com meant that to be ms-aspen.hac.com which would be legal. One of the problems is that the SMTP (RFC821), mail (RFC822), and various dns RFCs don't always use the same definitions for corresponding fields.
