For several days now, I have been seeing messages like this in my logcheck output:

Jun 27 19:24:07 maestro postfix/smtpd[14339]: warning: malformed domain name in resource data of MX record for neolookups.com: *.mx.*

Obviously, the MX entry for the domain “neolookups.com” (and all its subdomains, apparently) is “0 *.mx.*”.

It turns out that you cannot search for “*.mx.*” on Google, so I ask you, dear Lazyweb, is this one of the latest tricks spammers use to try and thwart antispam countermeasures?

    I have neither a solution nor a clue. The only thing I can say is: You are not alone.

    Jun 27 20:16:10 sarge-05 postfix/smtpd[24808]: warning: malformed domain name in resource data of MX record for
    kpowell.com: *.mx.*

    P.S. It’s running etch not sarge.
