The more important change in DNSServer was reverting to the previous technique of using InetAddress.getAllByName to get the IP addresses for the SMTP hosts, rather than the Type.A lookup.
I haven't looked at this code recently, but I guess this change might end the reliance upon the org.xbill jar. Do you know offhand if it does?

hosts that use CNAME on the right hand side of an MX record. That may be an incorrect DNS configuration, but it is all too common as I have noticed over the past couple weeks of testing the new code.
It is good that you caught this, Noel. When I was working with this functionality back in December, I felt unsure of the proper ways to use DNS since I don't know of a good reference which tells how mailservers should use DNS. Do you know of such a reference? or do we just push ahead learning from our experience?
