Hello Barry,

Is a valid MX record a MUST for this project?

My test box is inside a 2Mbps symmetric connection from anywhere (USofA,
etc) but it does not have a valid MX record. Will that do?
If it must have, then I will need to register a domain name and talk to the
ISP to do the mappings.

However, if this test is non-intrusive to Exim, then I can use one of the
production servers I use.

PS: My hope is that we'll be using Exim as the MTA:)
