Description

[David Campbell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

When an smtp server DNS name such as "smtp.vol.cz" resolves to multiple IP
addresses and the first ip address is down, mozilla does not try all the
available IP addresses.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Give mozilla an smtp server dns name that resolves to multiple ip addresses,
where the initial one or ones are down.
2.Try to send mail.

I was doing "send unsent messages" at the time.

Actual Results:  
failure window appeared

Expected Results:  
send the e-mail
