That makes more sense that what E-Rice told me.
They said to put the e-rice server (PRIO 10) in the first one
with 1&1 (PRIO 20) in the second.
Although multiple MX hosts are not required, it doesn't hurt
either. In fact, large businesses always have fallback MX
hosts in case the primary goes down. The MX with the lower
priority number will always be tried first, and if it is down,
incoming mail rotates to the MX with the next priority number.
In your situation, you'd have your POP client always check both
accounts, just in case e-Rice's MX went down for a while.
