I guess my confusion is with the expansion on manualroute, I would  
think that given:

domainname.com/mx:backup.server.com

That the expansion should put the second manual route entry below the  
lowest preference option returned by DNS.  i.e. so you'd have  
something like:

10 mail.domainname.com
20 mail2.domainname.com
30 backup.server.com

Instead, manulroute appears to be believing that it has a higher  
preference than the lowest preference returned from DNS?  At least  
when the local host is removed from the list, everything other than  
the highest preference MX in the entry before it gets removed.  So  
basically when it removes backup.server.com it also removes  
mail2.domainname.com from the list.  Removing mail2.domainname.com  
would make complete sense to me if I had a manualroute entry like:

mail.domainname.com:backup.server.com:mail2.domainname.com

But it doesn't really make sense to me with the way I currently have  
it configured.
