[ih] Converging on MX use

[Craig Partridge]

There was a USENIX paper (Mail routing using domain names, an informal
tour) by me in summer 1986 that discussed the mechanics.

The meeting itself took place in January 1986 at SRI (two day meeting --
the Challenger blew up on one of the two days).  Jake Feinler probably had
someone produce meeting notes (Ole J. or Ken H.?).
