Allow prioritisation of DNS MX record over A record for SMTP server.

Product - SMTP server, presumably part of 5770TC1.

We have a situation where a destination DNS resolves to loopback and it causes QMSF to crash. It turns out that the A record has 127.0.0.1 as it's address and the MX record has the correct address.

Function requested - the ability to prioritise an MX record over an A record within the SMTP server.


Use Case:

Customer uses SMTP to send correspondence to suppliers and their own customers via SNDDST.

    Thank you Paul Scott for taking the time to submit your request. However based on the amount of time the RFE has been open and the low number of votes we do not plan to implement this request as there are other higher priority items.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this request..
