I've been wondering since sometime ago if IMail has a serious bug: when a particular domain has an MX record with priority 0 the record is ignored by IMail, if also an A record doesn't exist for the domain it bounces the message with the Unknown host error message. Could someone else please confirm this?
One domain that I'm having a problem like this right now is unitel.com.bo but I have had with others in the past, I've solved them with the kind help of the domain's administrators rising the priority but I'm sure that it shouldn't be needed if IMail was doing it's job right in the first place. Another way to solved is to add these domains in our hosts file, not a nice solution either. It's my understanding that 0 is the highest priority possible, if I'm right IMail it shouldn't discard it at all. Besides that, IMail it's not able to deliver mail to an MX record who's address is an IP, not a name, I know that the RFC indicates that has to be a name but many admins don't know or by mistake include the IP in those records, many other mail servers are able to deliver to those domains, (sendmail, postfix, netscape, mdaemon, just to name a few) I just don't understand why the IMail development team doesn't include the code to interpret an IP in those records, sounds as an easy thing to do to me... I have several entries in my hosts file because of this and I really don't like it.
