Re: MX failure - going to A record

I have a broadband connection, and use it to connect to a second ISP

I'm not sure how to track down this occasional error.

My ISP (a friend and network guru) suggests that I add

define(`confTRY_NULL_MX_LIST', `False')

That way I will never connect to an A record. I'll try that. I hope I
don't have to deal with some domains that don't have MX records.
