Hi, What is supposed to be Exim's behaviour a mail host has multiple A records, and one of the machines is unavailable. There is currently a message on my queue destined for ox.ac.uk.
$ host -t mx ox.ac.uk ox.ac.uk MX 9 oxmail.ox.ac.uk $host oxmail.ox.ac.uk oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 129.67.1.161 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 129.67.1.163 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 129.67.1.165 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 129.67.1.167 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 129.67.1.171 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 163.1.2.161 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 163.1.2.163 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 163.1.2.165 oxmail.ox.ac.uk A 163.1.2.167 Exim has chosen to try delivering to 129.67.1.171, which is currently unavailable. However, it doesn't seem to want to try delivering to any other of the listed hosts. Is there a good reason for this that I have missed.
