I disagree, in today's environments you probably need to try all the addresses. This shouldn't be too much of a problem. MMDF, for instance, caches information such as whether the machine is up or not in its daemon so it doesn't keep trying the same thing over and over again. It also sorts the list of work by host name so that it can try to do it all in one connection, and with the case of multiple recipients of the same message, deliver it sending the DATA only once. In addition, the concept of a turkey queue is available. For systems that deal with a lot of mailing list traffic, a list of hosts frequently down can be maintained to avoid tying up the normal SMTP queue with those attempts. -Ron
