You mention
       dc_smarthost
              List of hosts to which all outgoing mail is passed to  and  that
              takes care of delivering it. Multiple hosts are colon separated,
              and all deliveries go out to TCP port 25.  Specifying  different
              ports  is  not (yet) possible due to upstream restrictions. Used
              as value of the DCsmarthost macro.

but you don't say what this does:
*Uses both hosts in parallel?
*Uses first host, and if not working, then uses second host?
Etc. etc.

I don't know, but it would sure be nice. I've usually got 20 mails to
send but only 10 minutes to send them in.


>> *Uses first host, and if not working, then uses second host?

M> This is the way it is done.

M> Committed a clarifying sentence to svn.

OK. Then I'll close this.
