My wife just asked me if this was going to kill backup MX servers, because
all .com and .net domains will resolve.  While this won't be a problem for
us, since we're a .org, I couldn't answer one way or the other.

So, if a MX points a domain that resolves, but (hopefully!) doesn't respond
to SMTP queries, do MTAs correctly fall back to the next higher MX record?
