Hi all

I have this problem delivering mail to certain hosts
that have multiple MX entries.  Other than that
everything is working fine.  Let me explain the
scenario more.

I have mail being sent to some user at server A and
server B.  Server A and B have 3 MX entries in their
lookup.  The first two entries in these are higher in
preference but are unavailable to the net traffic (for
some reason ).  What i think is happening is that
qmail is trying to connect to the first MX entry and
for some reason the server sends SMTP serrvice not
available to qmail at my end.  So the mail is put in
queue and then qmail retries the first server in MX
entry.

I have found a work-around in the sense that i entered
smtproute individually for thse two servers A and B. 
It is working now, but i was wondering if anyone had
more insight on why qmail was not looking up the other
3 mx records.

Thanks in advance all, Saleem
