Let me ask this then say one of my 10 MX goes down

nit, the RFC format for MX is "MX 10 hostname" :)


then what is the current effect on mail delivery?

50% of mail goes to each MX.


when one MX goes down, then all the mail to that MX will be delayed while the connection attempts to it fail, and then the other MX is tried.
