Are the alternate MXes all the same preference? I think if all MXes are the same preference then any SMTP server will not try alternate, it is more a random round-robin thing. However if the alternarte MXes are using higher preference then alternate attempts should be made in the order of preference.

I've got a very simular issue with IMail. When a servers primary mx is down.. either IMail won't/can't, or is incapable of sending email to the next available server. For those that can help try sending a test email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - this is the national repair center for adelphia business solutions. There main email server is down.. and imail won't send to their alternet ones.. tia, ~Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott Winberg Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:37 AM - MGMT To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] (not so)Hotmail problems? I have been having the same problems. I get MX failures every time somebody sends to (not so)hotmail and I have no other problems send to other servers. I am hoping that they get out of the email biz. I am tired of troubleshooting all the problems (not so)hotmail and Passport have at my other job.
