What happens if I point an MX record to the wrong mailserver?

[admjcd]

The mail for junk.com will be directed to the mail server.  Now you will have to configure the mailserver to accept mail for junk.com. I guess. At least if your using Exchange. I don't think any mailservers will get this confiuration by checking what you setup in DNS.

Subject: What happens if I point an MX record to the wrong mailserver?


I was wondering what happens if I do the following? 
----------------------------------------------- 
1) Create a new domain, "junk.com". 

2) Point the DNS MX record for Junk.com to my mailserver at E-Rice.Net. BUT...The domain name at E-Rice.Net is "mydomain.com". 

3) Create a mailbox on my mailserver named "test" (test at mydomain.com) 

4) Send mail to test at junk.com 
----------------------------------------------- 
Will the mail be received into the "test" mailbox at "mydomain.com", or will it be rejected?

Thanks!
