Davide, sorry - I just reread you previous email and I now realize that you clarified already that XMail does not try an A record if MX records exist, but I am a bit confused. Are you saying that it will try the A record if the MX records exist but fail, or that it won't try the A record at all if any MX records exist even if sends to them fail? Earthlink seems to be failing because after all MX records fail, if the A record is then attempted the send is terminated completely, rather than XMail continuing to try the MX records as it should later. Or am I not clearly understanding the mechanism here...
Thanks again for your input on this!
