It just defines what host/ip will handle mail for a specific domain or
host.
eg:
nixhelp.org 38400 IN MX 5 hval.a-q.co.uk
nixhelp.org 38400 IN MX 10 mail2.secondarymail.com
nixhelp.org 38400 IN MX 15 pingvin.a-q.co.uk
The 5, 10 and 15 are priorities. ie: if 5 isnt available, use 10, then try
15.. etc... You only need one, the others are for "backup".
Matthew.
