Aha. Yes, I see what you mean - anything that the downstream MTA can validate goes out 
using a connector set to "use DNS", which will end up in the same MTA because the MX 
records will take it there, and fails here will not cause link-downing.

BUT - what about the case where a user types a syntactically-invalid address? 
Something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED],com" (note the comma). That will also get a 550 
response from the MTA and trigger a link down....
