Wrong.
If you want to recieve mail, you must have an MX record. mail servers
don't check and "guess" that if a domain has a 'mail.domain' host, then
that's probably the mail relay. it doesn't work like that, or else all kinds
of strange and wierd mess would happen. that's what standards are for.
For a mail relay to send you mail, you must have an MX record pointing at
your own mail relay.

To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command
echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
