You are right, but it's up to the receiving server to decide if it will accept mail to u...@mxhost.example.com or not, and not to the sending one. As long as mxhost.example.com has valid A record, mail should be sent out. Eventually it will bounce. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
