in general this is bad idea: the lowest valued MX should be one with a
high degree of reliability and connectivity. if you're trying to deliver
to a machine which is intermittantly connected then you get exponential
back-of on elivery attempts by some hosts on the Internet, resulting in
the mail possibly never being delviered (and complaints from the customer
"it's their setup")
