Perhaps, but do recall that there are systems out there which have 
certain servers listed in the MX records for receiving mail, and 
different servers for sending mail that aren't listed in the MX 
records.

You can't please everybody, I guess.

Apologies to Daniel, as he would receive two copies of this message.
