Hello *,

courier-0.65 here (Debian). For a particular domain, courier refuses to
deliver messages because it violates RFC 1035. Correct, it actually does and I added it to esmtproutes for the time being. However the same domain has two MX
records configured. One violates RFC since it's in the form

domain.com   MX  20     mx.host.ip.address.

but the other one is in the form

domain.com   MX  20     mail.domain.com.
mail.domain.com IN    A     mx.host.ip.address.

Now, while I understand the first one is wrong, I wonder why courier couldn't
just ignore it, and use the RFC 1035 compliant mx record instead.

There are no prescribed means for handling bad DNS data. If DNS is wrong, one cannot have any expectation that it will work in any particular way, even if some parts of it are correct.
