Dear folks,

this might have been discussed before and is somewhat related
to DNS and not to EXIM but imagine a customer has a zone-file
like this:

@        IN MX mail.customer.com.
         IN MX 2nd-mail.isp.com.


www      IN A  192.168.1.1
mail     IN A  192.168.1.2


And the customer want's his web-site to be accessible through

http://customer.com additionally, we could put a CNAME in
the zone file or:

         IN A  192.168.1.1


What we get then is, that some MTAs try to send SMTP-mail
to that host instead of looking up the MX-records. Is there
any chance to circumvent this?

Regards,
Sascha
