Got it - upon pondering it further, it dawned upon me that an exact answer as to the state of a DNS cannot be fully returned, thus the James Rresiliency; an invalid DNS entry is either just that - invalid and non-existant - or could be suffering network connectivity issues, etc.
Does this same delay apply to invalid users ? I mean, if I have only one User - UserOne - and I receive a mail for UserTwo, will it take just as long before I am notified ??
