No, it does not.  All that the change really does is revert to the same use
we made before the change to handle multi-homed hosts.  We use the DNS to
resolve the MX records, and then InetAddress to resolve the host addresses.

One of the reasons for updating to the latest dnsjava was to clear up once
and for all any licensing questions, although Serge had previously received
proper permission from Brian to include dnsjava with James.

Yes, well I was watching it fail on my monitor (I keep a watch on my mail
logs in a corner of the screen), so I had some motivaton to find and fix it.

RFCs 974, 2821, etc., all provide good information.
