I found the problem with my outbound email through Bellsouth (See
"Outbound authentication" thread).

I need to send my outbound email to "mail.bellsouth.net", however
there are also MX records for this machine which point to machines
that will not relay for me.

Is there any way to specify to esmptroutes to use only the A records?
I hardcoded one of the IP addresses in the file and it works fine, but
I don't like that solution because it's going to break if they change
the IP addresses of their mail servers or remove the one I'm using.

These are the DNS responses I get:

mail.bellsouth.net.     6617    IN      MX      0 mx00.mail.bellsouth.net.
mail.bellsouth.net.     6617    IN      MX      0 mx01.mail.bellsouth.net.
mail.bellsouth.net.     3487    IN      A       205.152.59.17
mail.bellsouth.net.     3487    IN      A       205.152.59.16

mx00.mail.bellsouth.net. 6617   IN      A       205.152.59.32
mx01.mail.bellsouth.net. 6617   IN      A       205.152.59.33

I can send mail through 16 and 17, but not through 32 or 33.

Suggestions?
