client validity check must have mx record

Post by wkuypers »

another remark (just to get the service even better !)
i am trying to use the option "MAIL FROM address must have MX records" in client validity checks.
There is one problem : a lot of mailinglists are configured with the email address xxx@host.domain.com as the sender address. Domain.com has mx records but host.domain.com has NO mx records, and gets blocked by the client validity check. Is it possible to change to only check the TLD or to be able to choose between checking the entire host.domain.com or only the domain.com ? (just as you did in the greylisting and the ip adresses check)

thanks.

We can add an option to have it walk backwards through the hostname given until it either runs out of options or finds a valid MX record.

We've added a "Strict" and "Relaxed" mode to the MX record test. "Strict" mode only tests the domain name as given, and "Relaxed" mode will walk through subdomains of the domain name given. For example, in relaxed mode the domain "a.b.domain.com" would also be tested as "b.domain.com" and "domain.com". Strict mode acts as before, only testing "a.b.domain.com".
