I have to MXs for my domain written in my DNS server as: mydom.net. IN MX 10 srv1.mydom.net. mydom.net. IN MX 20 srv2.mydom.net. But some number ( may be even a half) of messages , coming from outside - get to srv2 first, and only then ( srv2 relays it ) - to srv1. Load average on srv1 is very small , number of sendmail children are also <= 10 at a time ( 30 is a max in sendmail.cf). So , what could be the reason why messages are coming to second MX first, not to the first one ? Best regards, Andrei - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
