題目: [exim] Retries to ox.ac.uk
Hi,

What is supposed to be Exim's behaviour a mail host has multiple A
records, and one of the machines is unavailable. There is currently a
message on my queue destined for ox.ac.uk.

$ host -t mx ox.ac.uk
ox.ac.uk                MX      9 oxmail.ox.ac.uk
$host oxmail.ox.ac.uk
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       129.67.1.161
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       129.67.1.163
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       129.67.1.165
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       129.67.1.167
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       129.67.1.171
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       163.1.2.161
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       163.1.2.163
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       163.1.2.165
oxmail.ox.ac.uk         A       163.1.2.167


Exim has chosen to try delivering to 129.67.1.171, which is currently
unavailable. However, it doesn't seem to want to try delivering to any
other of the listed hosts.

Is there a good reason for this that I have missed.

Regards,
John
