MX record by i_am_pi 2002-10-14 08:27:42
I have a postfix $mydestination line, space delimeted. It contains domains that should be recieved for on this mail server. I want to make sure the MX record matches the proper mail server for every domain.

I have a slight clue on how to but it's needing work, because it barfs that the DNS lookup is undefined.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::DNS::Resolver;
my $rawdestination = `postconf -h mydestination`;
my @destination = split (" ",$rawdestination);
my $mxrec;
my $res = new Net::DNS::Resolver;
foreach my $domain (@destination)
{
        $mxrec = $res->query($domain,"MX");
        print "MX for $domain is incorrect\n" if $mxrec ne "the.correct.mx";
}
