Seeing that XMail POP3 does it correctly (or as I see as correctly),
shouldn't I expect SMTP to act the same?
Since the top level domains are never/seldom used on their own, it would
seem sensible not to strip down to that point, or at least stop stripping
once it finds a match in the handled domains list.
I suppose I could put host.webifi.com in the pointer record, but since the
same IP address is used for mail, www, ftp, news, etc.. etc.. I seems more
logical to just use the root domain... and I'm not the only one that does
this.
