This is from mailer1: Jan 16 16:14:32 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: host mailin-01.mx.aol.com[64.12.90.1] refused to talk to me: 554 mtain-me04.r1000.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections Jan 16 16:14:35 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: host mailin-02.mx.aol.com[64.12.90.65] refused to talk to me: 554 mtain-ma05.r1000.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections Jan 16 16:14:36 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[205.188.146.194] refused to talk to me: 554 mtain-dh06.r1000.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections Jan 16 16:14:37 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: host mailin-02.mx.aol.com[64.12.137.162] refused to talk to me: 554 mtain-mj01.r1000.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections Jan 16 16:14:40 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: host mailin-03.mx.aol.com[64.12.90.97] refused to talk to me: 554 mtain-mc05.r1000.mx.aol.com ESMTP not accepting connections Jan 16 16:14:40 mailer1 postfix-aol/smtp[1732]: 97092438FFD: to=< xx...@example.com>, relay=mailer2.example.com[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25, delay=7365, delays=6096/1261/8.3/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 1AB9F142131) And then over on mailer2 I'm seeing the message to to xx...@example.com(which is actually an aol.com address) get delivered. So I guess I should change my question - it looks like mailer1 is attempting to deliver to 5 AOL mail servers before passing off to the relay. Any way I can make it hand off to the fallback relay with fewer attempts? Thanks, SteveJ
