I see what you are talking about.
Mail.wbpr.com has 2 IP's.

Strange....

Non-authoritative answer:
wbpr.com        MX preference = 100, mail exchanger = mail.wbpr.com

wbpr.com        nameserver = nameserver.coqui.net
wbpr.com        nameserver = nameserver.coqui.com
mail.wbpr.com   internet address = 196.42.23.4
mail.wbpr.com   internet address = 64.213.243.212
nameserver.coqui.net    internet address = 196.28.61.36
nameserver.coqui.com    internet address = 196.28.61.66

Subject: DNS for wbpr.com


Our client, wbpr.com, appears to have issues with their DNS records.  They
have 2 MX records with the same preference, and one of the boxes
(64.213.243.212) does not respond.  Of course, *my* DNS server tries to
connect to that one first, resulting in the dreaded "Host Unreachable"
error.  The 2nd IP is never attempted.

If I hard code the good IP (196.42.23.4) in the IMS, magically the mail
delivers.

Of course, the customer claims no one else on earth is having problems
sending them mail.  Obviously it's a DNS issue - but is it *my* DNS server's
fault that it never looks for the 2nd IP address, or is it their problem?
(dnsstuff.com couldn't even connect to their mail server, so I'm voting for
it's their problem.)

Many thanks.

Lynne July
