Well, I'm just saying that 'testing' which is probably all that rfc
ignorant does just like dnsstuff is going to say that pm 'works'.  You
realworld experience is that it bounced.  I haven't researched rfc
ignorant as to their 'testing method - one might compare it to testing
an smtp relay - whether it 'looks like' it relays or whether it
/actually/ relays are two different things.  Similarly, if the pm 'looks
like' it is 'there' but it actually /isn't/ wrt not bouncing, what is
the rfc ignorant 'result'?

I don't know the answer, I was just posting the dnsstuff and samspade
'verify' trick.
