What Jaap is saying is that the DNS wg is dealing with DNS issues, and 
the RMX one is definitely not a DNS issue. The DNS part of RMX is 
simple, and works.

The impact on SMTP, and potentially what RMX help with etc must be 
discussed with SMTP people, not DNS people.

Of course, the membership of such groups (DNS and SMTP) is overlapping, 
BUT, we need to try to make sure things are discussed in the correct 
forum.

Correct, and DNS issues and rules are to be discussed here. Including a 
rule which say "one should always have RMX records if one have MX" is 
such a potential rule.
