The major argument being that 'your' 10.1.2.3 MX server may not be 'my'
10.1.2.3. I've seen this:
@ IN MX 10 smtp
smtp IN A 10.1.2.3
smtp IN A 1.2.3.4
A lot of people consider this 'cool' as it allows their mail to be delivered
straight to the exchange server, without having to pass the firewall.
But it all breaks down tremendously when I also have a 10.1.2.3. Education
is better than saying 'it is forbidden', indeed.
