Instead of querying the DNS to get the list of IP addresses of valid
mail servers simply acquire this list from the web server instead. Given
that 99.9% of mail servers would have a corresponding web server why not
just query the web server instead!!! The HTTP request could simply
request a static file sitting on the server which *ANY* web
administrator could set up in 5 minutes. This file would be text (not
HTML) and contain a list of the IP addresses of servers that are deemed
to be allowed mail senders for that domain name.
Wasn't using web servers to serve mail infrastructure records hashed out
as a bad, or at least questionable, idea like two or three years ago?
Here's one thread. There are many others.
