this multiple domain resolution thing is built into some mailers... it is not
available for others... those mailers that can see and use multiple domains
will cycle through them trying each one in succession until a connection is
made or a number-of-tries counter has been reached... this works also with a
domain name in the "system name" field if one were to use that field for a
domain name instead of a system name... one could also use additional IBN flags
to indicate more than the possible three domains when using the available
fields where a domain name is able to be listed...

the following would be a valid entry for a system with five domains available
for connection...
