Running IMail 7.14, my users complained about undelivered mails to one
specific domain. The checks showed that the domain has multiple MX entries
with different cost, e.g.

maildomain.com. IN MX 10 mailserver.maildomain.com.
maildomain.com. IN MX 50 backupserver.provider.com.

The first MX is unavailable (meanwhile, I know the reason). However, the
secondary MX is *not* used by IMail. Using Nslookup on the Imail server, the
entries are resolved properly.

As a temporary workaround, I entered a line in the IMail server's HOSTS
file, pointing the name mailserver.maildomain.com to the IP of
backupserver.provider.com.

Is this a known issue with IMail? Can anybody deliver successfully to the
2nd MX?
I could find nothing within when I searched Ipswitch KB and Mailing List
Archives.
