OSIWARE MTAs (which are Ean V.2 MTAs) can fix default routes
in their "RR" (i.e. "Route Rule") tables in the mtamaint program.
You can arrange it that way, that every message to a known MTA
is explicitely routet to that MTA whilst all other destinations
are routed to MTA2. For details see the Administrator's Guide
and check your entries with the "route" subfunction in mtamaint.

Mr Ian Tolley of OSIware Europe has passed Mr Kovacs's question to
OSIware Vancouver for action.
The Admin Guide does not explicitly address the default routing
issue. But then, I guess your advice Rudiger, is correct.
