Hi all, Reindl: Thanks for your reply. I guess this is for sending mails from postfix... my setup is regarding "linux server->postfix" (so receiving mails, seen from postfix point-of-view). - how many retries total/per day ? - what is the difference if I do it "DNS RR"/"MX equal value", do you know ?
