Reverse to the sending MTA, or the best preference MX for the address?
If it's just to the sending MTA, I don't think this is a good
idea. The sending MTA isn't necessarily the same MTA that handles
incoming mail for that address.

For example, if I send mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] at work, my
company's SMTP servers don't know anything about [EMAIL PROTECTED],
so the message will be bounced by this feature. The sort of thing is
very standard practice actually.

On the other hand, if this Postfix feature instead queried the best
preference MX for mastaler.com, which may or may not be the same as
the sending MTA, I think this might be pretty useful, and would save
TMDA allot of work.
