As seen from Table 11-7, the smaller figure it is, the higher priority it gets. For example, the user A wants to
email to [email protected], a mail server (mail.airlive.com) served as a SMTP server decides where and
how to send the mail by inquiring the target DNS server.
The MX record of the inquiry of mail.airlive.com is as followed: (Table 11-7)
Domain Name Type Address Reverse Priority
mail.airlive.com MX smtp1.airlive.com X 1
mail.airlive.com MX smtp2.airlive.com X 2
Table 11-7 MX record of mail.airlive.com
For figure 1 has the highest priority, server will try to deliver the mail to smtp1.airlive.com due to its first priority.
If delivery failed, then the mail goes to smtp2.airlive.com the secondary priority.
