What will be happened if a MX is an numeric IP?

From a DNS perspective, You may or may not get an error in reload. I have seen both cases where I do a lookup and get an ip.

I have seen cases where the DNS server will complain.

From a MTA's (receiving email server) perspective, a good deal of email will be rejected. I believe Exim out of the box will reject the mail.

I reject by my choice in my configuration.

Further, the MX must also point specifically to an A record.

I hope that helps.
