I really doubt this is the problem as it has no impact on which MX
record is chosen to connect to.  As a sendmail and postfix user...both
with MailScanner, I've had NO problems whatsoever.  There are thousands
of other users as well.  There were some problems years ago, but they
are no longer to my knowledge.  Weitz and Julian will probably never see
eye to eye.  Weitz doesn't play well with others.
