Sorry for noise.
Someone in this list send me a mail but I cannot reply to the mail
because of dns failure in smtp.
This is a private message to him.

I think mx record is required in official dns server, although I feel
the condition is too strict.
/sys/src/cmd/upas/smtp/mxdial.c
nmx = 0;
snprint(buf, sizeof buf, "%s mx", ds->host);
if(debug)
fprint(2, "sending %s '%s'\n", dnsname, buf);
/*
* don't hang indefinitely in the write to /net/dns.
*/
n = timedwrite(fd, buf, strlen(buf), 60*1000);
if(n < 0){
rerrstr(buf, sizeof buf);
if(debug)
fprint(2, "dns: %s\n", buf);
if(strstr(buf, "dns failure")){
/* if dns fails for the mx lookup, we have to stop */
close(fd);
return -1;
}
} else {
