Hi all,
I've been experimenting with my second mail server to try an track down
what I do wrong in order for these pesky loops to occur. The DNS entries
in question for this test domain were:
domain1.com. MX 10 mail.domain1.com.
domain1.com. MX 20 mail2.domain1.com.
domain1.com. MX 20 mail3.domain1.com.
My router entry on the secondaries re:
domain1.com = domain1.com.smtp
When the primary goes down, the secondaries seemed to bounce email between
each other before failing. It's only now just occurred to me wonder if
perhaps this looping could be cause by the two secondaries have the same
priority number? If so, isn't SIMS (or the behavior specified by the RFC)
smart enough not to forward on to a server of the same (secondary) status?
Or could that not be the cause of a mail loop?
Joe
