1. Go to rfc-ignorant.org and report the domain name to the bogusmx list. 2. Contact the owner of the domain and tell him to use Internet standards. That's what they're there for! 3. Install dnscache from http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html , and point XMail at it. That DNS server will convert IP-address-like domain names into A records whose value is the domain name (so a domain name of 1.2.3.4. resolves to address 1.2.3.4). It also speeds up your MX resolutions when you run it on the same box as XMail or in the same network. 4. Or use XMail tables to manually route mail to domain servers for those domains which are broken, and update them from time to time when the IP address changes.
