I consider this a bug, as leaving fake MX records is a known antispam technique, and after all, the domain is resolvable if you have at least

The known antispam technique is not having unresolvable MXs, it is having _unreachable_ MXs. Really different, i think


From http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/OtherTricks
"The fake records can either be undefined or can point to dead IP addresses or to real IP addresses with port 25 closed. <b>On the lowest numbered MX be sure it's pointed to a closed port</b> because if you just use a temporary error then Qmail, which is not RFC compatible, will never move up to the next MX record."

For undefined, I understand unresolvable (that is, the host in the MX doesn't point to any IP address).

Anyway, there are legitimate senders that are pointing to unresolvable MX records, and they don't like the fact that our mail servers reject thier mail saying that it's unresolvable (when it is), so I think that was a must-fix for us :S
