Fw: MX records (was: Re: FreeHand files under linux)

2001-03-15 Thread Oded Arbel
Wrong. If you want to recieve mail, you must have an MX record. mail servers don't check and "guess" that if a domain has a 'mail.domain' host, then that's probably the mail relay. it doesn't work like that, or else all kinds of strange and wierd mess would happen. that's what standards are for.
