The original nameserver serving the requests may permute the order to try
and deal with those resolvers which only deal with the first RR returned.
Thus I would guess that even if the mailserver only takes the first RR,
(although in the multiple MX case, it must examine all of them), then it
will be actually pretty random which one it takes, even if the internal
code doesn't do it.
