Tabor,

Thanks again for the help.

I added the route_list option as you specified in the routers section, but I
get an error from exim saying that "Exim configuration error option
"route_list" unknown in line 467"

Could this be an Exim 4 only option? OR am I trying to put it in the wrong
section. I assumed that this would be a router option. (It is in the
spec.txt for exim 3, so I don't think that it is an invalid option)

Thanks in advance
Terry

There is no reason you can't use something like

route_list = "example.com mail.example.com bydns_a"

if the backup mx needs to talk to the third mx then yes.

You could also change the MX pref to so that both of the backups have the
same preference, but then this may not be ideal for your purposes either if
you really don't want mail to get to the lowest MX unless absolutely
necessary.
