Still no good. Nameservers and MX forwarders are totally seperate. A
nameserver can have a unique record for every host, while an MX forwarder
simply special-cases everything in the domain and transfers it to the
domain's gateway. In this scenario, the forwarder will never receive a
piece of mail for an invalid host.

Any Internet site can be a forwarder. The idea that only a few specially-
equipped installations can do it is a myth. All it takes is a friendly
postmaster.
