I could configure another order for each of my mail-servers by hand, but if there would be built-in randomization it would make things easier.
According to the documentation, random selection is supposedly what
should happen, here.
Exim should randomly select one of the non-failed servers within the
highest priority set (and fall back to the lower priority servers only
if all the higher priority servers have failed).
And at least with equal weights, the algorithm in the code should
actually do that.
Kind regards,
