This sort of thing, encoding stuff in domain names, is a non-starter. For one thing, it doesn't work with IDNs. For another, mail servers don't know what their names are and is quite common to point hundreds or thousands of MX records at the same server if it handles a lot of client mail domains. What happens when (not if) they aren't consistent? Also, more practically, anything like this requires a change to the way that mail clients look for mail servers, and if you're going to change, change to SRV which is already well defined and in use in other applications such as SIP. -- Regards, John Levine, [email protected], Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly _______________________________________________ Uta mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/uta
