I have to admit I am starting to come around to understanding Rodrigo's viewpoint on this, however. What is the *downside* of having Courier retry a different (same-priority if exists, or next lowest, as usual) MX rather than the same *potentially*-broken one, after the usual interval? It won't be construed as a spam attempt, unless I guess you are of the opinion that my sending two separate messages to you and happening to have them connect to two different MX is also spammy behaviour (no, it would just be coincidence). -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
