My reply was based on experiences with my own servers and those that
I've worked on for other people/companies. The RFC is great and all
but as you said there are no obligations. When it comes down to it,
we follow the rules that the "biggies" such as AOL, Yahoo, Google,
Microsoft, etc. set. I have a couple domains that have 3 MX records
and I see mail delivered to all 3 machines regardless of priority or
whether or not the others are answering. As far as I know that
particular RFC has not been superceded but I'd say that roughly
(without actually creating some boiled down metrics) 70%-80% of the
servers that send me message actually follow that particular one. AOL
has been seen delivering to all 3 of my MX records regardless of
machine status. There's a couple other broadband companies that
operate in the same manner that I've seen.
Ok, that clears things up. It's obviously the usual 'standard' which we
'all' follow...
Thanks for the answer, Marc
