Hello Ben, Probably you're right, but I still have the doubts :) I'll quote man courier(8) one more time: "If the domain is found in esmtproutes, however, any MX or A records for the domain are ignored; instead Courier delivers the message to the specified relay." I understand that in my scenario Courier ignores MX or A records for domain, because domain exists in esmtproutes. But I also think that Courier should deliver the message to specified relay, that is to domain. Why? Because when Courier can see name of relay, then it doesn't care whether DNS is broken or not, but it only resolves IP address of relay. Please say that it sounds logically ;) My best regards, Pawel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
