Well - here it is:

Server:  localhost.2sun.ru
Address:  127.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx1.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx2.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx3.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx5.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx6.port.ru
mail.ru preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx9.port.ru

Pretty clean, yes?

[DING!] runaway:~/pictures/mpg > telnet mx1.port.ru 25
Trying 194.67.23.32...
Connected to mx1.port.ru.
Escape character is '^]'.
421 mx1.port.ru: Too many concurrent SMTP connections; please try again later.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Understandable?

[19:00] runaway:~/pictures/mpg > telnet mx4.port.ru 25
Trying 194.67.23.39...
Connected to mx4.port.ru.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx.mail.ru ESMTP MAIL.RU Wed, 07 Mar 2001 19:03:18 +0300

at the same time, this one works

And now:

I.e. qmail keeps trying one and only one MX!

Am I clear? What else should I post?

Alex.
