XMail does a _full_ MX resolution. That means that for looking up the MX records for meaw.com domain, it does : .. type=ns com. type=ns meaw.com. type=ns meaw.com. type=mx Since name servers _are_ A records, this involves looking up A records during the MX lookup. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
