Agree fully.
But what about line:
123.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.123.com
Nigel, I don't want to fight about "is it good/bad way to put one host
with several preferences ?". It's not restricted neither by RFCs
neither by others rules so lets stop talk about that point.
What I want to know is: is it right way to do like Exim has done ?
Why Exim will try to deliver the message by other way instead to try
deliver it to died relays, stop to do it after retry-timeout and send
error message to sender ?
Domain 123.com is not local for relay.mydomain.com !!!
