Wait, how can mx.example.com get twice the emails? Sounds off.

I don’t recall seeing anything about a PriNS server in our notes; I thought it was just about the MX records.

I practiced a similar question where the backup MTA only received emails if the primary was down, so I feel like option C might be correct.

I think mx.hosted.com is the primary MTA because it has a lower preference value, but I need to double-check that.

I remember that the preference value determines which MTA gets more traffic, but I'm not sure how to calculate the exact distribution.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to review my notes on MX record processing to make sure I'm selecting the right answers.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The nslookup output gives me all the information I need to identify the correct MTA selection behaviors.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to focus on the preference values and understand how the external MTAs will prioritize the MX records.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different preference values for the MX records. I'll need to make sure I understand how those preference values impact email delivery.

This looks like a straightforward MX record question. I'll need to carefully analyze the information provided in the nslookup output to determine the correct MTA selection behaviors.

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 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.

We should consider other factors besides just the preference value when determining email distribution.

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.
