id expect this tripe from him, the one who hasnt made his mail server 
compatible for current compilers without someone elses patches, for 
several years, its so outdated and flawed by default, and a lot 
of other things so dont get me started on djb and his way of thinking :)
he needs to coke back to reality


Secondary DNS required by "some"?  it is mandatory for two
(but id expect djb to think hes above them)

Sec DNS offsite and a sec MX offsite  = mail is collected for when primary 
mx is back, MANY mail servers refuse to try sec mx's, hotmail used to be 
like this and AFAIK prolly still is this way.

djb prolly wrote that in 1999 like most of the stuff he wrote and hasnt 
looked at it since and prolly has as many friends now as he did back in 
1999 so he couldnt care if his mail is unreachable :)
