Handling Multiple Gateways.


Hello,

how can i specify multiple gateways to handle different domains.As 
per the RemoteDelivery mailet structure :
gateway (optional) - The host name of the SMTP server to be used as a 
gateway for this server. If this value is set, then all messages will 
be delivered to the gateway server, regardless of recipient address. 
To specify more than one gateway server, add multiple gateway tags, 
each containing one value. If more than one server is specified, they 
will be tried in order until one is successful. In addition the port 
may be specified for each gateway in the format <host>:<port>. If 
this value is unset, delivery will occur to SMTP servers resolved by 
MX lookup. 

I did the same n changed the config file as:
<gateway>gateway1:port1</gateway>
<gateway>gateway:2port2</gateway>

The structure says that gateways will be tried in order but it is 
attempting only first gateway and if it fails, Mailet.log is 
generated and mail is stored in outgoing folder without testing the 
gateway2.

Pls Comment why is not testing gateway2.
