Should clarify, i intended to say that there would not necessarily be an
address in your zone file that points to an ISP mail server.

eg.

if xyz.co.nz was hosted at Xtra,

the xyz.co.nz zone file would probably have

@ IN MX 20 mta.xtra.co.nz.

within its zone file.

The query 'XYZ.CO.NZ MX'

is going to get

20 MTA.XTRA.CO.NZ

as a response. Theres nothing wrong or invalid in that, and ive never
heard of this counting as a score toward a 'spam' markup...

Mark.
