I would like to re-word that as reading it again It doesn't make sense to me :-/ A customer of ours runs their own mailserver, we do backup mx for them. People on xtra couldn't send mail getting a bounce back due to our secondary mailserver not accepting mail, their primary was fine however. Joe. Michael Fincham wrote:
Mail server administrators do tend to deploy deliberately broken primary or secondary MXs to divert spam. I cannot comment whether or not Yahoo! are doing this.

Hi All,
Had a customer of ours, no one on xtra could send e-mails they just got bounce backs.
In this instance the Secondary MX was not accepting mail (The Daemon had crashed), the primary was fine however and no one else had issues sending mail there.
Does anyone know if this is some kind of feature with Xtra's mailservers, to choose the secondary over the primary MX?
