I have a preference for the design that addresses the problem at a
lower level in the stack, so that the solution is not limited to
the SMTP client and not limited to inet protocol selection.
That code can then also be used to address other forms of trouble
that manifest themselves via DNS (for example the next time someone
changes the meaning of some corner case, like nullmx).
I have a draft implementation that is being tested.
