Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: when to try lower priority MX

[Matt]

I believe that if the connection never happens, then IMail will go up to the next priority.  It may be that IMail is configured to only step up to the next priority when there is no connection, but if there is some sort of error, I'm guessing that it just queues the message and starts the process over again at the next run.  I think that for a broken connection, this makes some sense and may be the best way to handle that.

I had the same and similar problems with half a dozen domains, including MSN/Hotmail. What I did was to first try and contact the admin there outside of email to talk about the problem, and when that failed, create DNS records for their domains in my own private DNS server, and fixed up the MX records such that the mail would get through, including the non-functioning one as a backup (higher MX value). In some cases the admin there didn't know there was a problem, or couldn't fix it, or wouldn't fix it, or was unreachable.

The problem is that the primary MX closes the connection right away, newer returns any response. Imail seems to treat this as a temporary problem, and newer tries the other server with lower priority MX record. Is this the right way to do it? I am running Imail 8.05 on my gateway server.
