But this license-plate analogy only applies to the faulty MX record. According to the original poster, that site had _two_ MX records: MX 8 n.n.n.n. (faulty) MX 10 mail.foobar.com. (correct) Why couldn't Courier try the correct MX record after the faulty one fails? I don't know of any RFC's that would be violated in that case, and in fact, I thought that this is what an MTA is _supposed_ to do. -- Lloyd Zusman 01234567 <-- The world famous Indent-o-Meter [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ God bless you. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
