Description

My mail to mapserver-dev is deferred because lists.osgeo.org doesn't accept mail from my ISP SMTP server due to it not having an MX record in DNS: 

-Queue ID-  --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient-------
293C44C247C     6202 Sat Mar 16 12:33:30  sebastic@xs4all.nl
(Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=smtp.xs4all.nl type=MX: Host not found, try again)
                                         mapserver-dev@lists.osgeo.org

It's kind of silly to require an outgoing SMTP server to have an MX record which is only relevant for incoming mail. If you want an MX record you need to check the domain of the sender in the From and/or Sender header.
