We're in the shared webhosting business.
Some of our clients, when setting up new accounts, use a domain that's
not yet been moved to our server.
If that happens they don't get the Welcome email, because our server
sees the email as a local delivery and doesn't bother to check for an
MX record.
We're considering changing exim.conf so our servers will always check
for and MX record or A record, and use it, rather than attempt local
delivery.
I've thought about this for a week, and still can't see any downside
except a bit more DNS traffic.
Is there a downside we haven't considered?
Thanks.
Jeff
