AAAA records? #14

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Do we need AAAA IPv6 record check if MX was not found? Or does the RFC say only 
that A-record must be available if MX fails?

Since it is there only for historical compatibility and it pre-dates IPv6, I 
think we can ignore AAAA-record fallback. It isn't mentioned in any RFC that 
I've read.

I did think about this but it would not add any value and we could be accused 
of making it up as went along!
