Remarks

MailBee uses instances of this class in order to lookup MX records of the Internet hosts. For example, Smtp component can perform MX lookup queries in direct-send scenarios (sending e-mails without SMTP relay server).

You can also perform DNS MX, TXT and PTR/rDNS queries expilicitly. See Smtp methods like GetMXHosts(String), GetPtrData(String) and GetTxtData(String) for details.

RblFilter class uses DNS servers to query RBL databases.
