It should be possible to specify a list in the order to be used. The same logic should be applied in the Outgoing SMTP server section in case any or all accounts are set to use the default setting. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: With an SMTP server dedicated to an account the sending of messages will fail if that server is not reachable [even though other valid servers are available]. Actual Results: Sending of messages fail even though valid SMTP servers are available. Expected Results: It should be possible to send emails via the currently reachable SMTP server when configured to do so. This issue has been raised and recognised many times before but is still not resolved. When will it be possible to specify a list of SMTP servers so that the first available will be used.

The original bug report 52384 dates back to the year 2000. How do we know when this problem is planned to be fixed?
Another few years has gone by and still no fix in site to getting the dynamic action for selecting an SMTP server. Will this bug be addressed ?
