Hello,
 
I am running as a backup MX for a domain.  I have the primary domain at 10
with the backup at 100.  Every time that I dispatch a letter from the 100
machine, it never gets to the 10.  Should I be using a backup MS number
like 5000?  What gives here as to preference?  All outside domains
correctly choose the 10 machine.

Thanks,



John Clark
