Since some recent posts have pointed out that one shouldn't have MX records
with value IP addresses, some recent spam we bounced came from
milissa186 at follonett.no, and tried to bounce back to 10.0.0.1 because:
dig follonett.no mx
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> follonett.no mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

Clearly the people at follonett.no, yes.no and at easydns.com have what I would consider
an extremely immoral attitude towards MX configurations....
