I don't want to use MX records. We set up a relay server for a customer. This relay is the only MX record for this domain. We have a manualroute router for this customer where route_data is set in a mysql db. Now the customer's DNS setup was broken and the host didn't resolve. Then exim denied all incoming mails for this domain with 451 temporary rejected. Now I search for a solution for this:
- I'd like to add more than one server in route_data for the case that one of them fails. I tried that with : seperated entries but exim always only uses the first one. - I'd like that exim accepts the mail even when the server in route_data is not resolvable. I added host_find_failed = defer to the router but exim still rejects the mail with 451.
