Yes, but it shouldn't matter! What you should have said was
nslookup -type=mx worldnet.att.net
to look up the MX records (of which there are plenty). The folk at
worldnet have obviously got fed up with broken mailers that look up an A
record for worldnet.att.net. Mind you, why they just don't delete the
record I don't know. Setting it to 127.0.0.1 doesn't actually help
anybody.
