First of all, qm1.asimba.com is NOT a secondary MX host. The only MX
recored for asimba.com points to smtp.asimba.com which is a CNAME for
ms1.asimba.com.
Before you do ANYTHING with qm1.asimba.com, fix your DNS so that it
matches either:
asimba.com. IN MX 10 smtp.asimba.com.
smtp.asimba.com. IN A 209.0.108.112
ms1.asimba.com. IN A 209.0.108.112
or:
asimba.com. IN MX 10 ms1.asimba.com.
ms1.asimba.com. IN A 209.0.108.112
Then, add another MX record for asimba.com like this:
asimba.com. IN MX 20 qm1.asimba.com.
What you have right now is a mess. The above will straighten it out and
get things working correctly.
