I have an issue cropping up with a domain name of:

a user claims that it is a valid domain name for a friend of his, but

How so? What does it say?

and indeed a "dig" doesn't produce much info.

It has SOA, and 2 NS records. No A nor MX.

what happens with names such as these on mail servers which actually
_can_ route to it? how do they do it?

Perhaps it is a case of differing views for their clients. I'm unsure what you are asking here. Do not confuse routing with resolution.

I posted this question in a "bind" user group. Would appreciate an exim
response.

the question then, is,

SHOULD a mail transport agent accept an email addressed to this domain? with no "A" or "MX"
how would it determine how to route it ?
