Summary	0003484: check_mx_record fails on windows platforms
Description	If I activate globals 'validate_email' and 'check_mx_record' and try to add a new useraccount with a valid email-address, I'm getting a blank page (manage_user_create.php) with no error message. Also the account has not been created.
Steps To Reproduce	There's no problem, if either validate_email OR check_mx_record has been activated. Or both off.
Tags	No tags attached.

We should probably put a note in the manual about this for 1.0 and see if we will/can use the PEAR class for 1.1.
