MX record is inbound only. period.

However, ISP's could block outbound port 25 unless using their servers (such as my cable company) and/or make arrangements for a particular IP range to be outgoing mail servers. That starts to make sending servers a little more accountable.

If you need to send mail direct to a server outside this network, use ssl and submission port, not port 25.

If we could get over our fear that someone might get something for nothing, we could simply start giving everyone enough money to get by, with jobs being something people do to get ahead, not to survive. If we don't do it soon, increasing automation will force the issue within a few decades.

Wow, that's quite a statement. Have you been watching too much Star Trek? Please explain your economic theory....

I saw a documentary on coffee making, where they mentioned this... it wasn't a cat, but several types of animals were mentioned. They did a blind taste test with a bunch of professional coffee testers (called Cupping ) and the result? The pooped coffee was indistinguishable from the worst samples of "normal" coffee. Certainly worse than the good varieties.
