Thanks for the reply, this is all relating to incoming mail for our
domain. I agree the MX config is more than a little unusual. The 1st
and last entries are are a dummy entry, from what I understand this is
to reduce the amount of spam we receive (the way the guy that set it up
this way explained it to me is spammers usually hit the first mail
server, find its down and give up), moving onto the real servers one is
the actual server (that we've got the problem with - mx3) and the other
two are servers that just forward to mx3.
Any more thoughts?
thanks - jc
