That would be a bit of a waste of time, since munnari simply
bounces mail for hosts that aren't in the DNS, apart from (.bitnet
and .uucp type addresses) - no attempt is made to find some other
way to deliver mail.   Delivering to ACSnet hosts that aren't in the
DNS would (in most cases) involve using AARNet facilities (some Melb
hosts might be able to go some other way, but just a very few) - and
if they don't have an MX record, that's what they're not entitled to.
