I guess this can come handy. Thanks for posting it. I'll try it out with Google. Do you think I'll make my computer freeze?

It's important to note that the mail exchanger for a domain may not be the same as the domain's mail server. These days, most organizations use mail relayers of one sort or another to block spam, check for viruses, add redundancy, and take processing load off their mail server.</ul>

This is a great technique for getting the mail exchanger(s) for a domain. Most UNIX flavors also have nslookup, so this will work there, too. The dig command, where available, can be used to do this, too (dig mx domain.com).
