...when not all its MXes are locked down to reject incoming email from
IP addresses on whatever DULs it uses:
2004-03-02 15:27:12.772839500 starting delivery 25579: msg 146521 to remote some-friend-of-mine@xxxxxxx
[...]
2004-03-02 15:27:14.869891500 delivery 25579: success: 205.188.156.185_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_OK/(Other_MXes_tried:_64.12.138.57_said_554_for_greeting.)/
Note that this is with my qmail-remote-fallback patch installed. See:
<http://www.jcb-sc.com/qmail/patches/qmail-remote-fallback.html>
It's a good example of why it can be worthwhile having qmail-remote
try another MX after getting a 5xx code in the greeting. There's a
much-simpler patch floating around that accomplishes that; my patch is
a more comprehensive approach that includes providing the sort of
logging that confirms the utility of this aproach.
