OK, that is legal (and common). IMail should not have gone to the A record
for mydomain.com (.4). v6 definitely had a problem where it would go to
the A record if it couldn't connect to the MX record, but I haven't yet
seen that with v7. We actually just changed our DNS to get rid of the A
record for declude.com because of this bug (getting a "user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist" doesn't make potential customers feel too
happy). But, we haven't seen it in 7.0 yet.
