Even if qmail is configured to handle mail for a domain (through rcpthosts)
it should do the lookup on the MX for that domain right?
I've had situations where we are the second priority mail server for a
domain , and sending mail from our mail server to their domain doesn't go to
their server but to the local machine because we have that domain in
rcpthosts. Once i've taken the domain out of rcpthosts file it goes to the
first priority mail server not a problem.
This seems to be intimittent, so i must be missing something here.
Anyone?
