Hi,

This question is not postfix-related .... so its somehow off-topic. But it's related to mail systems, so i cant imagine any other place to get some help on this subject.

I have a domain (domain.com.br) with lots of subdomains in the format nnn.domain.com.br.

nnn.domain.com.br (about 40 different subdomains) have only 2 (two) DNS entries:

nnn    IN    MX    10 server.nnn.domain.com.br.
nnn    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 include:domain.com.br -all"

    there's absolutely no A entries for the subdomains.

i'm having an isolated problem with a customer that cannot send mails to one of my subdomains (everything else is working fine, several thousand of messages flowing daily, this really seems to be an isolated problem). Altough, their sysadmin (from the domain which cannot send us mail) is telling what i'm doing (having an MX entry but no A entries) is RFC-illegal, altough he cannot point me which RFC i'm not complaining with.

i really dont know if this setup (MX record but no A record) is RFC-OK. The only think i know is that it's been working for years and i receive thousand of emails daily on my several subdomains with no problem at all.

question is .... do a domain (or in my case, a subdomain) *MUST* have an A record ? Is the config i'm doing (DNS speaking) correct or incorrect (RFC-speaking) ??

    Thanks for any hints on that ....
