No, they are tried in sequence.

It depends on what the problem is. Some smtp servers will accept the connection and
then not respond further. In that case you
would see a slowdown. However, the Outgoing Servers setting is usually only used when
the server is a slave (backup) to another.

MX lookup)? I think the answer is no but I thought I'd check :)
No, the server does an MX lookup regardless (that's how it knows where to deliver the
mail in the first place. Using MX caching
will boost performance.

with that.

Well, if you need any more help in configuring this then let me know.
