Do you mean reverse lookups? Grrr....it was very much evening when I wrote it. The above doesn't make sense. What I do is: (1) Query for all MX records, and get back domain names (2) Query for all A records for every domain name (3) Try to connect to port 25 for every domain name one have I.e. "look up all A records for each MX" means "gather all domain names from all MX records". Yes, I know it didn't make any sense. Sorry. The code is available at http://dnscheck.paf.se/ paf
