Misunderstanding: lets do an example:
PL had 3 MX recods for a domain: he said that the third one is very
slow, so he prefer to keep trying to post to the first two.
Telling the MTA to use only the first 2 with MX 10 and 20 and
forgetting the one with 99 , or to avoid MX with level > 50 do not
have problem if the order is changed, since it would get
automatically the two new preferred ones ...
Of course this could be a problem if the first ones are barred from
some domain, but i think it is a rule violation too ...
