...but I think that the only use of MX records on TLDs (such as
.cc and .cx) is for people to have fun with the shortest
addresses in the world. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying
that people who set up MX records for TLDs should read RFCs
first, and check whether all mailers in the world fail to
implement the RFCs. Exim does (or at least did), which made mail
for user@cc go to Cocos (Keeling) Ilands instead of
cc.huji.ac.il, as it was intended.

According to RFC822, "s@cx." is an invalid e-mail address, too.
Sorry about that.
