In a perlscript, I can use gethostbyname to check if a given host exists.
But how can I check if there exists a MX-record for a given host?
I probably could system("host -t MX $host"), but I'd rather have a
"native" perl solution.
(I want to check in a script if an email-adress contains a valid hostpart)
