mz.ru is broken. ... maxmail.co.uk is horribly broken. maxmail.co.uk should win the "Broken DNS of the year" award.

Everything is working the way it should be working.

I didn't state that these domains' DNSes are not broken, I just said that courier reports these existent domains as nonexistent. The fact that some domain have broken DNS records could not automatically be treated as the reason for bouncing all mail from that domain.

It most certainly is. That's the whole purpose of the CHECKDNS option: to bounce mail from undeliverable domains. None of those domains are deliverable.

"Most certainly" doesn't mean "always". One example: mz.ru is undeliverable but perfectly valid domain of mailing list server mailzone.ru. These gyus intentionally or erroneously configured their domain as undeliverable, but there could be users who nevertheless would like to recieve messages from their lists.

It would be nice if courier could make difference between "nonexistent" and "nondeliverable" domains and postmaster could configure BOFH options for each case.
