relayhost specifies a destination, default_transport specifies a delivery channel. Seems to me you should be using relayhost, but it probably doesn't matter much. > > Does it cycle through the 2 A/MX records (IPs) when trying to deliver?

In the case of one primary and one secondary, postfix will always try the primary first. If the primary is unavailable or the connection times out, postfix will immediately try the secondary. If you define two equal-weight MXs (or two A records with no MX), postfix will randomly pick one. If postfix's first choice is unavailable, postfix will then try the second. [1] there are sanity limits on how many MXs postfix will try. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_mx_address_limit http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_mx_session_limit -- Noel Jones
