Look at this stupid set of DNS records:
ibase.com. MX 20 mailhost.ibase.com.
ibase.com. MX 30 inbound.firstnet.net.uk.
ibase.com. MX 55 relay.firstnet.net.uk.
ibase.com. MX 666 non-mail.ibase.com.
ibase.com. MX 10 mail.ibase.com.
mail.ibase.com. A 62.105.94.141
mailhost.ibase.com. A 62.105.94.141
non-mail.ibase.com. A 127.0.0.1
inbound.firstnet.net.uk. A 212.103.224.21
relay.firstnet.net.uk. A 212.103.224.41
Somebody I know discovered them when trying to make use of @mx_any in an
Exim configuration. Because of the 127.0.0.1 the domain ibase.com
matches @mx_any.
Does the list think that the default for @mx_any matching should be
changed to ignore 127.0.0.0/8 and 0.0.0.0 as is the case for the
dnslookup router in the default configuration? (It's a very simple
patch.) Does there need to be an option?
And finally, to satisfy my curiosity: what on earth do you suppose the
above set of records is supposed to achieve?
