Because Postfix SHOULD do that: *) Because if on MX is down, the second one could/should be up and running, so why shouldn't Postfix use it *) Because Postfix isn't interested in wasting resources and storing deliverable e-mails in the deferred queue *) Because the sender wants to have delivered his e-mail fast without unnecessary delays *) Because the recupient wants to receive his e-mails quickly without unnecessary delays If you believe that deferring e-mails and wasting time is helpful, then use smtp_mx_address_limit = 1 smtp_mx_session_limit = 1 but don't complain about delays.
