The things said about such a setup do not apply here. As I wrote, the two MXs resolve to IPs ending up on the same host. They are even connected via the same physical network. Even in the very unlike case that there is a transient problem at the time of the connection attempt to the first address, which does not exist at the time of second attempt, the delivery will be retried again, multiple times. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
