This feature was added to the 6.1 release. You are getting unknown host
error because CFMX 6.0 is trying to look up "mail1,mail2".

Subject: RE: CFMAIL (MX - 6.0) and multiple email servers
Hey Dave,
I work with Mario, so I ran an nslookup on the address and a few records do
show up. But I think you're right when saying it isn't CF's job to query
the
dns server, but unfortunately it fails with an unknown host error.
And the docs do say that the mail server takes multiple entries, but only in
6.1, which IT hasn't gotten around to installing for us, lucky us.
I'm going to look into a java alternative(javamail as someone suggested
offlist) if I have the time

I'm not sure what you mean by this. CFMAIL doesn't "handle" MX records - it
simply uses the OS to resolve MX names to addresses. If this isn't working,
you should go to a console and see if you can resolve them yourself using
nslookup or the like.

According to the documentation, you can specify multiple mail servers in the
SERVER attribute.
