Well, I think I did this step correctly.

To be precise, this is my setup:


# dig -t mx suessmost.de
[...]
;; ANSWER SECTION:
suessmost.de.           3600    IN      MX      5 d.ns.schokokeks.org.
suessmost.de.           3600    IN      MX      10 zucker.schokokeks.org.
[...]
zucker.schokokeks.org.  60      IN      A       85.10.204.247
zucker.schokokeks.org.  3600    IN      AAAA    2001:6f8:1060::1
d.ns.schokokeks.org.    3600    IN      A       85.10.228.82


The entry of the priority 10 mx does not affect anything.

In the above scenario, the courier daemon listenes to port 25 only on specified IP addresses:

# netstat -nplt|grep ':25'
tcp        0      0 78.46.69.2:25  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN    19945/couriertcpd
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25   0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN    19945/couriertcpd

The couriertcpd configuration is not relevant. The esmtp client has no knowledge of how the tcpd daemon is configured.

But:
78.46.69.2 and 85.10.228.82 are configured on the same device:

There you go. Courier obtains a list of all locally-configured IP addresses. It sees 85.10.228.82, and sees that it's the highest priority MX, so it concludes that this domain should be configured as a local domain.
