NAME
       fdnsmxalist - resolve a list of MX records and their corresponding A
       records for hostname

SYNOPSIS
       fdnsmxalist [-x] <hostname>

DESCRIPTION
       fdnsmxalist will attempt to look up a list of MX records for hostname.
       If any are found, they are printed to standard output seperated by
       newlines in the format:

        Protocol (Priority) hostname:port

       The program then looks up lists of A and AAAA records for each MX
       record, and prints them to standard output, one IP per line.  Lines are
       printed to standard output starting with "ERROR: " if any MX records
       have no corresponding A or AAAA records, are CNAMEs (an RFC violation),
       or have A or AAAA records which point to non-routable IP addresses.

       If the -x switch is passed on the command line, the program outputs
       machine-parsable XML instead of the human-readable tree.

       Exit codes for the program are:

         0 - Everything looks fine
         1 - An MX has a non-routable IP
         2 - An MX doesn't exist
         3 - An MX is a CNAME
         4 - An MX is an IP address
       100 - Invalid syntax
       103 - DNS timeout or host does not have MX records
