Probably wouldn't hurt, but unless he's trying to fight off spam sent
to valid users (which according to his description doesn't seem to be
the case) he could go without as well.
Correct. The SPAM problem is not directed at legitimate accounts
(yet). All of these rejections are for fictitious accounts under the
.com domain. I don't want to accept anything at all for that domain.
However, I must keep the domain pointed at this new server in order to
catch web traffic and redirect it.
So all of the rejected mails are for example.com, but you now use
example.org instead? Your first mail sounded like there were arbitrary
destination domains, not just the .com domain you want to move away
from.
If you don't need to accept any mail for example.com, you may want to
remove the MX record(s) for that domain (in case you haven't done that
already). Redirecting web traffic will work just fine without them.
Right, this was a forehead-slapper for me a couple of hours ago. But
then I realised that I'd already explicitly removed the MX for the .com
domain weeks ago when first setting up the new server. There's only the
A records, CN, and NS. I can't figure that out.
Removing the MX record isn't enough; you need to create a
bogus MX record. ie.
example.com MX 10 dev.null.
RFCmumble specifies that in the absence of an MX record, the A
record should be used.
