Will emails be dropped if a single MX record is missing?
I'd like to setup email using Google Apps for your Domain but can only enter 5 of the 6 required MX records due to limitations with number of host records I can enter (I'm using Zerigo DNS to host my DNS records):
aspmx.l.google.com
alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
aspmx2.googlemail.com
aspmx3.goog开发者_开发知识库lemail.com
aspmx4.googlemail.com
aspmx5.googlemail.com (this one is not included)
Will emails be dropped if that last MX record is missing? What are the implications of not including the last MX record?
No. When a mail is sent to your domain, the sending mailserver will use exactly one of the servers in the MX records. Any of the servers you name can accept an e-mail, there are just many of them to do load-balancing and fallback.
