[courier-users] Re: Automatically use secondary MX host if primary fails

Is there any reason for Courier only try to contact a secondary MX if it=

can't contact the primary at all?

Wouldn't it be a good approach to try other MXs after any kind of error:=

failed connection, 4xx error, 5xx error etc?

I'm recently having problems sending messages to several of my clients
because they have MXs with one problem or the other: two top priority
MXs and one of them is too busy, two top priority MXs and one of them is=

turned off (my client says it will only be turned on in case of
emergency!!!) etc.

I know that some of these problems should be solved on the other end but=

I believe my suggestion is a more productive approach from Courier.

These alternative behaviours could be made optional if they represent a
problem to anyone.

Any chance this being implemented?
