I find it mildly amusing that my first contact with Paul was about 25 years ago when he was at DEC and I objected to his use of a wildcard for dec.com.
I was only an egg.
The situations are not parallel and the Internet was a very different animal in those days (and DEC was mostly DECnet), but still I managed to maintain a full set of MX records for all of our DECnet systems.
Based partly on my conversation with you, I ended up pulling over the list of DECnet nodes and generating MX's for each one, just to remove that wildcard. You were right, and I listened. Probably I forgot to thank you until now. Thanks. -- Paul Vixie KI6YSY
