Hello,

The problem is probably in both MX'es having an IPv6 (AAAA) record:
C.secondary-mx.co.uk.   60      IN      AAAA    2001:8b0:0:81::51bb:510d

I think XMail only tries the 'best' address it finds for each MX. The IPv6 
address is ofcourse preferred over the IPv4 one.
Davide: how about an option (command line) to completely turn of (at least) 
sending of emails over IPv6?
Or does the RFC tell you to try IPv4 if IPv6 doesn't work? Sounds fine to me 
:)
