At least it works in the sense that `host -t mx boum.org` doesn't report
any MX records, as opposed to when that command is run in Tails 0.12.1.
It's very glitchy, though, and rarely succeeds when it should. I think
this can be attributed to Google's DNS, which currently is configured,
which is known to take issue with Tor exits. I have consistently good
results with OpenDNS (208.67.222.222), so I recommend a switch if we
want this feature to actually be useful.

Cheers!
