I'm going to ask a question that I don't understand the details to (MX records, etc)...so bear with me.
Under SMTP for Win2k I enter a Smart Host of smtp-relay.y.z. That address is a MX record in DNS which resolves to either mail1.y.z or mail2.y.z. I am not sure how it chooses which to resolve to, but I was assured that if one was down the other would handle the traffic. However, smtp-relay.y.z is unpingable and doesn't actually resolve to anything. nslookup set type=any smtp-relay.y.z Server: relay-north.y.z Address: xx.xx.xx.xx smtp-relay.y.z MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail2.y.z smtp-relay.y.z MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail1.y.z Setting smtp-relay.y.z as the Smart Host in SMTP under IIS works fine. However, in SA, Setup, SMTP I can't use this address. I must use either mail1.y.z or mail2.y.z (both pingable) for mails to send properly (which, of course, doesn't have any redundancy). Am I doing something wrong? To unsubscribe from a list, send a mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] With the following in the body of the message: unsubscribe SAlive
