I'm leaning towards options B and C as the correct answers. The exhibit clearly shows mx.hosted.com as the primary MTA, and the preference values suggest external MTAs will use mx.example.com as a backup.

Haha, option A is a classic trap question. The preference values don't actually determine the amount of email each MTA receives. Good one, test writers!

Yeah, it's a common misconception. Always read the question carefully.

I fell for that trap too! Preference values don't affect the amount of email received.

Option D is definitely wrong. The PriNS server is not responsible for receiving all email for the domain. These questions can be tricky, but I think I've got a handle on it.

I'm not sure about option C. The exhibit doesn't mention anything about mx.example.com only being used if mx.hosted.com is unreachable. Let's see what the others think.

I'm not sure about option A. Can someone explain why mx.example.com will receive approximately twice the number of emails as mx.hosted.com?

I agree with you. Option D is also correct because the exhibit shows that the PriNS server should receive all email for the example.com domain.

I think option B is correct. The exhibit shows that mx.hosted.com has a preference value of 10, making it the primary MTA for example.com.

Hmm, the preference values indicate that mx.hosted.com is the primary MTA, not mx.example.com. Looks like option B is correct.

I'm not sure about that. I think the correct answers are A and D. mx.example.com will receive more email due to its preference value, and the PriNS server should receive all email for the domain.

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