Darn. So the first one listed will always be tried first? This won't really work for
load balancing then... I thought I remember you announcing this as a feature
enhancement at some point... or am I maybe thinking of a cfx_imsmail feature? I know
there was something about round-robin outgoing servers at one point :)

I was more picturing that a server would be off completely or not accepting SMTP
connections at all.
