MADNAME

where:

MADNAME
A domain-name which specifies a host which has a mail agent for the domain which will accept mail for forwarding to the domain.

MF records cause additional section processing which looks up an A type record corresponding to MADNAME.

MF is obsolete. See the definition of MX and [RFC-974] for details ofw the new scheme. The recommended policy for dealing with MD RRs found in a master file is to reject them, or to convert them to MX RRs with a preference of 10.
