<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">its a bit OT but I hope its OK anyway. We are also using Mailscanner as outbound scanner and see a problem that I cannot figure out - probably some setting im missing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">sometimes "we" send emails to a domain where the primary MX record does not resolve. I would have expected that sendmail would just try the next but instead it resolves to mxrecord.name.OURDOMAIN.COM
(I think) - it seams it appends our domain and then tries this server and this server says "no thanks" so the delivery fails.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">I tried to lookup the MX myself using the same nameserver as the mailscanner server is using - this fails so its not the DNS server that appends something to make it resolveable or gives out
a standard IP. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
