My wife just asked me if this was going to kill backup MX servers, because

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?

Surely if a domain doesn't exist, it won't HAVE an MX record or backup. Even if it did it would be pointing to non-existent servers. Unless VeriSign is very stupid or malicious ...
