OK by me.

Hm, it is a border case, why not just say "MUST either
check [2821bis] or as minimal approximation [nxdomain]".

If you really like MAY better I think "MAY instead" is
clearer than only "MUST [nxdomain], and MAY [2821bis]".

If 2821bis is only a MAY you can't rename the result to
"nomailfqdn", it has to stay as is (= "nxdomain"), and
we can close that part of #1579, "not more applicable".

I'd like to suggest that since the how seems to be controversial we  
punt on
that and just say the ADSP only applies to domains that exist.  I  
think we
perhaps we can leave how to determine this as an implementation  
detail.  The
last 1% of agreement/interoperability isn't worth it.

That's an interoperability problem. If senders don't know what
recipients may check, then the ADSP check is ill-defined.

It does not really matter what the check is, as long as it's
well defined.

Cheers,
