Hmm. having readjusted the dns to serve a name instead of a number
on a test domain, it does not appear to bounce. I am not
removing my smtproutes entries, to reduce dns load, and to prevent
messages getting forwarded around between multiple secondaries.
I would like to see qmail-remote.c adjusted to account for this
particular flavor of misconfiguration, which is clear enough to
enough MTAs to cause the machine at nnn.nn.nn.nnn to receive
plenty of e-mails, yet which causes qmail-remote.c to mistakenly
determine that the local machine is the best-choice server for
a domain, in release 2.0.
