[Mimedefang] Re: SMTP mailertable question

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Ken,

In my opinion, the original question was really asking about the mailertable
which WILL do MX lookups unless you put the host in brackets, i.e.:
esmtp:[nomxlookups.domain.com].

Your response got a little off-tangent and I think people started answering
to both issues at once.
