IMail doesn't try secondary mailservers if a mailserver fail.

One of our customers culd'nt send mails to a email account at the email.dk
domain, but everyone else did'nt have that problem (I could allso do it
through our Exchange server).
I made a nslookup on the domain with the following result:
email.dk        MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = www3.cybercity.dk
email.dk        MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mailgate.cybercity.dk

www3.cybercity.dk       internet address = 212.242.40.84
mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.53
mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.52
mailgate.cybercity.dk   internet address = 212.242.40.4

Then I tried to telnet to the first mailserver at port 25 but the server
did'nt respond. Then I tried the secondary servers and the responded fine
and I was able to send a mail through telnet. So my conslusion is that IMail
is'nt trying to send mails through a backup mailserver.

I have sent this information to Imail Support.
