Old version: * DNS lookup for MX record New version * DNS lookup for A record * HTTP request for .wellknown/htmp/known_hosts Not sure why this is being considered as an improvement? > each mailbox of a domain on a different provider Why is this useful/necessary or even 'good'? | ||

Id think its for enduser flexibility and convenience. Its more involved to alter DNS records vs just adding a text line to a webpage and hitting that default endpoint as standard. Same way LetsEncrypt allows the easiest setup with the .wellknown endpoint , where a user may not have DNS access beyond the initial A record setup. | ||
