Just curious: is this a one-time immediate check for an MX that responds?

Say, for example, that example.com has only a single MX and for whatever reason (server is down, network connectivity is broken, etc.) it is unreachable or unresponsive at the exact time you test. Would that constitute a "fatal error" in your validation process?

If there is a single MX RR but it "expands" to multiple hosts (multiple A RRs), do you test a second one if the first doesn't respond?

TIA!
