Although yahoo.com has 4 mx records and each mx record has 4 A records: yahoo.com. ... MX 1 mx1.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com. ... MX 5 mx4.mail.yahoo.com. ... mx1.mail.yahoo.com. ... A 67.28.113.10 mx1.mail.yahoo.com. ... A 67.28.113.11 ... mx4.mail.yahoo.com. ... A 66.218.86.156
xmail tries only one A record for each mx record, in case of successive failures. This is by design. Please, is it an RFC recommendation? I understand the multiple A records are intended to provide load balance, but what is an mta supposed to do in case of failure? Shouldn't it try all A records till success? Many thanks. __________________________________________________ Converse com seus amigos em tempo real com o Yahoo!
