I _have_ read RFC1918, and if _you_ had read my mail which you even
quoted, you'd have learnt that _I_ didn't pick the stupid IP range
192.168.0.0/24 for the site in question. Hey, the customer is lucky
that their clueless admin didn't choose some random subnet allocated
to somebody else.
Anyway, the question still holds: How does ignore_target_host handle
cases where an MX record points to a name with multiple A records, of
which only one is broken.
You're lucky that I didn't come up with some better flame, but your
smart-ass reply has gotten me on one of these days where one should
have stayed in bed.
