Re: Getting an SMTP Server address from DNS

[Revathi V. <rev...@ho...>]

Hi,
I browsed in one of the sites that hotmail has upto 14 smtp servers.  (As an
example)
While using dnsjava,

                        Record result[] =
org.xbill.DNS.dns.getAnyRecords("hotmail.com", Type.MX);
                        for (int i = 0 ; i<result.length ; i++ )
                             {

System.out.println(result[i].rdataToString());
                              }

gives me only 4 addresses. Am I doing the right thing. Pls correct me if I
am wrong. I would appreciate some code samples.
Thanks
Revathi
