But Willard, mx.example.com will not receive twice the number of emails as mx.hosted.com. And the PriNS server should not receive all emails for the domain.

I'm not sure about that. I think A and D are the correct answers.

I agree with you, Chaya. The primary MTA is mx.hosted.com and external MTAs will send email to mx.example.com only if mx.hosted.com is unreachable.

This question is a piece of cake! I bet the exam writers are struggling to come up with tougher MX record questions. 'Oh no, the PriNS server is going to take over the world with its email prowess!'

Option D is just silly. The PriNS server is not responsible for receiving all email for the domain. That's not how it works.

I'm not sure about option A. The preference value doesn't necessarily determine the amount of email received. The MTAs may handle load balancing differently.

I agree. MTAs may handle load balancing differently, so it's not a guarantee.

Option B is correct. The primary MTA for the example.com domain is mx.hosted.com, as indicated by its lower preference value of 10 compared to mx.example.com's preference of 20.

Exactly, mx.example.com will receive approximately twice the number of email as mx.hosted.com because of its preference value.

So, that means external MTAs will send email to mx.example.com only if mx.hosted.com is unreachable.
