Perhaps it is time to end this thread, which I've come back to after
being away (teaching Exim). Am I being silly, or does the above sentence
imply that the two sides of this argument are talking at cross purposes?

I agree entirely with the statement quoted above. However, I do not
think it necessary or sensible to publish MX records for hostnames that
are *not* email domains (even if they are the names of email servers).
That is what those on the other side of this argument have been saying.

I won't post on this thread again.
