So, I don't think Tomas's setup is that crazy, and in the interests of offering choice to the user (the way we check autoconfig.HOST before checking the isdpb) I think we should check that site, too. I agree with the concerns about slowing down the process, but I think those could be mitigated by parallelizing the requests to the host and to the ispdb…
Severity: normal → S3

After the MX lookup we only check the https://autoconfig.{domain} variant at the email provider. Otherwise we might end up with too many (slow) requests.
