The strict RFC rules do not say you MUST have an Mx record.[1] The strict RFCs in fact special case the non-existence of an Mx and describe _exactly_ what a mailer should do. From RFC 974[2]: It is possible that the list of MXs in the response to the query will be empty. This is a special case. If the list is empty, mailers should treat it as if it contained one RR, an MX RR with a preference value of 0, and a host name of REMOTE. (I.e., REMOTE is its only MX). In addition, the mailer should do no further processing on the list, but should attempt to deliver the message to REMOTE. [1] I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out how full of shit they are. [2] In this case substitute the domain without an Mx record for the word REMOTE (e.g. company.com) _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
