Hi Wietse, Thanks for you reply. I may be wrong but I just know what I read in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.4

Can you help me understand as to where I'm wrong? It says that after one attempt is made, it should delay the next retry. Is it like, all MXs (ip addresses) are tried in one go before actually deferring a mail? Thanks in advance.
