[MacPerl] Find SMTP server(s): nslookup?

[Milivoj Ivkovic <mi@alma.ch>]

Now that I have the hostname, I can go on to the real purpose of this: try to find an SMTP server nearby. 

Of course, I'll check Net::Config and try to connect to localhost on port 25. But what else can I do?

Does Net::DNS work on Macs? (It doesn't on Win95).

Would some Macs have environment variables like $ENV{MAILHOST} set?

And of course, I would like to find the MX records for the local domain. WinNT and Linux are easy: `nslookup ....`. What about Macs? Would it have implemented `nslookup` as with `hostname`?

Or would some Macs have such a command (I read something about Unix tools in a new Mac OS)?
