Description

Take a domain with 5 mx servers each one with 6 associated ips. James currently try to connect to each MX server even if the first server say "5.1.1 user unknown", but even worst, james try to connect to each IP of each MX server.

I think that james should only check each MX server once, at a random IP address from the IP list for that mx hostname.

The permanent user error issue would be only a further optimization but the IP issue is probably against the RFC specifications.
