iwj@d.o expands to a greenend.org.uk address, and the mx for that
domain refuses to accept my mail.

[Irritated] (in reply to RCPT TO command)
Yes, lapse.madduck.net is a CNAME (*c*anonical *name*) to an MX RR,
and that's RFC-compliant ttbomk. If it is not, I would appreciate if
someone shoved the relevant sections into my face.
In the mean time, I'd be grateful if Ian gave me a means to
communicate with him. Or if someone would offer to relay a message
to him.
The spammers have long won if people put such boulders in the way of
communication. Oh wait, I doubt spammers use CNAMEs...
