Why is this list full of people who negate the facts of life?

Personally, I could not care less whether you can stand on your head
or can send mail to .ZOO, .WEB, .LIST.
They are not in the root. Repat after me: They are not in the root!
And if you didn't get it, THEY ARE NOT IN THE ROOT!!!
The name has nothing to do with it.

Roeland, it is evident that you have no idea what you are talking about.
But then this is the DNS list, who has?
In case your attention span is short: They are not in the root!
I could not give a flying lewd act about smart hosts and relays and
all.
The problem is NOT a) and b) as above.
The problem is that *I* make that choice, NOT them.
Nevermind that a) and b) have nothing to do with the problem at hand
actually. The solution to avoid ths problem is trivial, by the way
My MTA will not resolve it. It doesn't have to. No RFC requires me to
have to misconfigure my properly configured software, they must
configure their misconfigured software properly.
I really don't mind ORSC's cuckoo land, they can send me mail from the
.MOON as much as I care, as long as they respond properly to the MTA's
rejection.
