try to send to the A record for somedomain.

if the query returns multiple A records, use the first one (only).

if that A record unreachable, try mx 10

try to send to the A record for somedomain.

if the query returns multiple A records, use the first one (only).

if that A record unreachable, terminate delivery.

If you want to distribute inbound traffic, with failover, over more than 
one MX:

mx 5 label1.domain
mx 5 label2.domain
