Don't believe it!

DNS can be, and sometimes is, broken by people who are unrelated to the
mailbox ownership.  In my case, it's been, ooh, days since some idiot of a
DNS-provider decided to change my DNS setup to add a bogus MX record at
priority 0 (i.e. higher than anything *I* could add).  The provider is one
that offers a "mail forwarding" service, and decided to add their forwarding
server to my domain, even though the forwarding wasn't setup.  The net
effect was that all my inbound e-mail received hard bounces (relaying
denied), and only when someone called me did I discover the problem.
