I wouldn't have used that hostname as the mailing domainname, I would've
used swip.net
[email protected]

mailfe08.swip.net = 212.247.154.225 both ways
but it doesn't have an MX like that, ie as that hostname

whereas swip.net has the MX mailgw.swip.net

Or, said another way, if you try to email something [a
hostname/domainname] for which there is not an MX, it doesn't work.  If
you try to mail something for which there /is/ an MX, then you are
trying to get the mx to take a mail for the username.

I don't quite get that;  but I still don't like that address.
