Putting the IP address in smtproutes does work, however if the host at that
IP address is ever down the messages will bounce after one try. What has
worked good for me is to put a hostname in smtproutes and then create a mx
record for that hostname, this way if the host is down the mail will retry
later instead of failing right away.
Just trying to be helpfull :)
