Doing it that way, MX record can be an FQDN target at the ISP as defined in dsnmasq.conf (which leaves room open for the ISP to change the IP of their SMTP host), but A record ends up statically defined in /etc/hosts (which forces the dnsmasq user to hack /etc/hosts every time their ISP changes its mind about the IP for their mail server). What we need is a way to avoid statically linking an IP to the mail server's A record and to map it dynamically just like the MX answer. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
