Now, we can speculate
- Is the missing MX RR by intention?
Yes. Is there an email address at mail.imc.org that you wanted to send mail
to.
- Is the administrator clueless?
Sometimes.
- Is he lazy?
Often times.
- Is it just a configuration error (mail.imc.org instead of imc.org)?
No. imc.org has an MX record, and has for over a decae.
or we could just ask Paul Hoffman :-)
Or, you can be more specific. What is the problem of a host that is
never expected to be on the RHS of an email address expected to have
an MX record? That's an honest question, given that it has been over
12 years with the current setup.
Sorry for not being specific enough, I thought it would be obvious after
looking into the header of the message. I am referring to the address
owner-ietf-smtp(_at_)mail(_dot_)imc(_dot_)org(_dot_) In the meantime I am
convinced that it is a
configuration error, because I looked into my archive:
