Most of my domains don't send mail, however I do prefer to receive mail to the standard aliases (webmaster@, abuse@, etc) and often a catchall. Even for domains I've got parked and awaiting deployment.
Am I thinking too much, not enough, or is the opening phrase of the advice meant to be "Another tip for domains that don't intend to receive email"?
- justusthane 5y agoIf you're receiving mail you need valid MX records, so you can't set a null record.
- ceejayoz 5y agoYou don’t need a valid MX. It’ll try the A record absent a MX.
- justusthane 5y agoYes, but if you set a null MX record than it wouldn't, right?
