Hummm...interesting. Correct me if I got it wrong but, I believe this is how
it works:
1) User someeone@somewhere.com emails me (me@mydomain.com)
2) One of the email servers for the domain somewhere.com connects to my
email server for my domain (let's say mail.mydomain.com)
3) mail.mydomain.com checks to see if the email server has the same IP
address that is registered for the domain somewhere.com.
3A) If the email server has the correct IP, then pass the email
3B) If it does not drop the email
Is this correct?
