    Wow, 65 MX records, and the response is truncated with UDP and requires a
    TCP query. The OP is detonating H-bombs on foot. 2-5 MX hosts are enough,
    if you need more (equal weight to spread the load), get a load-balancer
    that either splits TCP traffic or randomizes DNS responses with short
    TTLs.

    If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
    send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
    "It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
