RE: Editing E-Mail Addresses

I saw that discussion in the archives, but didn't understand the MX records
must be checked first.  

So I guess the process should be:
Check for MX records.

If they exist, compare the domain to the list.

If they don't exist, check the "A" record returned by the GetHostByName
function.

Correct?

Thanks.

you check for an MX record first. If it exists you MUST use it. If is
doesn't exist, you SHOULD check for an A record w/the domain name. If it
exists you use it. If no A record exists then you're toast.
