That's not the RFC rule.

The RFC requires attempted delivery to the "A" record if no "MX" records
exist.

I didn't look it up, but I sure could. It's in either RFC 2821 or RFC
2822.

That must be the party line excuse because I hear that as well.

It's safe to say that the product sucks.  My company got it in the
Symantec enterprise "Suite", effectively for free.

I'm trying to convince them to use a linux mail host running sendmail -
as I've been doing for the last while - but to no avail.

Symantec's line is that they go by strict RFC rules - my reply, was
that's fine, but what about the real world rules?

Anyway, thanks for the input.
