I have a problem with KX mailer and bind8. When the KX mailer sends a
mail to domain say xxx.yyy, it fails.
Looking at the trace, I see the following :
1. The mailer sends an MX query to the name server for the query name
xxx.yyy
2. The name server sends a response with SOA records, but no MX
records.
3. The mailer now sends an A query to the name server with the query
name xxx.yyy. This is as per RFC 974 - that when a mailer receives no
MX records, it is supposed to treat it as if it contained one RR, an MX
RR with a preference value of 0, and host name name of xxx.yyy
4. The name server responds back with the A records.
However, the mailer still fails. Has anyone come across this
problem? Isn't it a problem with the mailer? Could anyone advise on
this? Is there any RFC that suggests what the mailer is supposed to
do?
Thanks
