I know. Still using a DNS SRV record is a significant problem, because of the 
number of webmail users and I'd rather have a better solution.
As you've written that the lookup is optional, a rudimentary step forward 
would be to declare the lookup option. This way providers know that they'll 
be excluded from some clients if they rely on the SRV record "hack".

Best Regards,
Bernhard
