Hm, not quite. It says that it relays the mail to a server *with a lower preference value* than the one specified as mx, or got from other sources (mailname, gethostname(3), etc...). And that is what it should do, because the mx1 will have a lower preference, than the mx2 (and I'm configuring the mx2). Unfortunately, it doesn't act per the man page; it seems it doesn't do the MX lookup, and relays through itself again and again... > > Further on in the manual it says this: > > "/etc/mail/mailname If this file exists, the first line is used as > the server name.

Again, even if I had specified a value for 'mx', it must've only routed the the mail through a server with a lower preference number. So if I had specified mx1, then there wouldn't have been any servers that are with a lower pref. value, in turn, if I had specified the mx2, it would've acted like the same as with the default value.
