Does not look like. XMail would cache (in the MX cache) the *names*, which are mx10.xx.com and mx20.xx.com (and, for the duration of the TTL). Then the names are resolved to IP addresses using OS specific library calls (getaddrinfo()). - Davide _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list xmail@xmailserver.org http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
