	Well, not really. It will go over to the next MX and if all
of them would fail start again with this one next retry. Perfectly
fine with me :) But ok, when you get a better fix I will happily put
it into my source.

	Another thing -- I have run into strange problems of zmailer
refusing talking to our customers -- You are on our reject IP list
-- GO AWAY, when there is no IP reject list at all, but dns-rbl enabled.
I disabled it temporary, but of course what I mean is that the customer
is not in rbl-maps database, I checked. I'll report more if I get more
details.
