In the web interface, the way that the user's MX configuration
is displayed is non-intuitive:

        1.  When an MX is set and the user returns to the web
            config, that MX is not shown.  Only by querying
            the nameserver directly do you see that there is
            an MX record in place.

        2.  The semantics of the "secondary MX" button are unclear.
            When I first tried to use it, I expected that by
            entering a FQDN in the MX box and clicking on the
            secondary button, that the entered FQDN would be
            listed as the secondary MX.  Instead, I went from this:

                host    300 IN MX       100 mx-main.example.com.

            To this:

                host    300 IN MX       200 mx-main.example.com.
                host    300 IN MX       100 mx-back.example.com.

            As you can see, the priorities in the MX records are
            reversed.

I would content that a better interface would be to have two entry
boxes, one for the primary MX and one for the secondary MX.
Furthermore, when the form is displayed, any current MX records
should be displayed in those fields just as the username and
email address are currently displayed.
