The way smtp_fallback_relay is implemented, it adds each relay as a low-priority MX host with a safety check: if the relay does not resolve, then mail is not bounced. If you see deferred mail on mailer1, then it still needs to be forwarded to the smtp_fallback_relay. The maillog file should say why that hasn't happened yet. Wietse
