    Default DNS MX lookups

    Hi,

    Can anyone recommend a way of looking up MX records on a domain using Qt classes ?
    I found references to Q3DNS, but would rather not use Qt3 support.


    Thanks,

    Steve York

    You mean like... QHostInfo?

    On the surface, the doco doesn't specify anything about getting a list of MX records the way Q3Dns does. Am I mistaken?

    I've found PSI which has an implementation of QDns called QJDns.
    Would this be the better way to go?

    It specifically has a function for getting a string list of MX records.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Aah, I thought QJDns was a straight replacement but it doesn't have the 'mailServers()' function.

    So, does anyone know how to get a list of MX records associated with a domain name?
    Is it possible with QHostInfo?

    Interesting, perhaps Trolls missed to add the feature in Qt 4. You could try sending a suggestion.
