That's a misconfiguration.  I'd rather that the email bounced than it
got delivered via SMTP silently.  It could be that someone unaware of
the MXPS standard (which admittedly includes 99.999999% of the world's
population) could have set their MX priority to 12801.  If so, it's
best to ask them to change their MX priority.

It's much more likely that someone intends that the email be
delivered via qmtpd but it is failing to run for some reason.  If we
fall back to smtp, they'll never know that it's failing unless they're 
watching their qmail logs carefully.
