May I ask why? It's exactly what he wants:
ignore_mx_lookup_error (no)
Ignore DNS MX lookups that produce no response.
Ignore DNS MX lookups that produce no response. By default, the
Postfix SMTP client defers delivery and tries again after some delay.
-> This is what he sees.
This behavior is required by the SMTP standard.
-> we agree
Specify "ignore_mx_lookup_error = yes" to force a DNS A record lookup
instead. This violates the SMTP standard and can result in
mis-delivery of mail.
-> how likely is this?
He could of course add a transport_maps entry instead!
