[SunHELP] Mailhost problem

[Adrian.Florea at alcatel.ro]

Hi,

I think on your domain DNS server ...
in the zone file (BIND case) there are some entries related to MX in
which is specified the order (preference) too.
something like:

domain	MX 10 mail-exchanger1
domain	MX 15 mail-exchanger2

then, 	first try mail-exchanger1, then (if not available)
mail-exchanger2.

best regards,
Adrian FLOREA
