 a message of 25 lines which said:

If an SMTP or DNS server has multiple addresses, clients are
required, practically (many servers are behind firewalls) or, for
DNS, officially by RFC1035, to try all the IP addresses of the
server,

Yes, SMTP requires to try all the IP addresses of the MX. But I
thought you said that it was required for a MX to have several
addresses, which is quite different.
