... I use fake MX as well. But even if my lower MXes are perfectly available. I have seen quiet a lot of legitimate traffic coming on my fake MX and get turned down with a tempfail. So If you are populating blacklists based on this data , better be careful. (I'm sure you would have seen that yourself) Anyway I think moving an MX record to a third party with no bussiness contact would not be possible for anyone Thanks Ram
