Hi all,

What happens where there are multiple MX record entries in a zone file. Does email get distributed according to the priority or the record or does email get routed to the server will lower priority only if no email server of higher priority does not respond?

Do all email server fall back automatically to lower priority email server to deliver email when the server with high priority does not respond or some server will just wait for the primary server come back? In other words what is the effect of an MX record entry poiting to a server that is down?

Thanks,
EK
