Q: 7
MX record priority increases as the number increases. (True/False.)

Pretty sure that's False. In DNS, lower MX numbers actually mean higher priority, so mail is routed to those first. Official guides and DNS labs cover this detail well if you want to double-check.
I’d say False, the priority decreases as the number increases for MX records.
False
False
Seen this trick before, it's definitely False. MX priority works where lower numbers are tried first, not higher. Unless they're using some non-standard config but I doubt it here. Anyone think differently?
False tbh
Isn’t the trap here that higher MX numbers are actually lower priority? I see why some would pick True, but DNS goes for the lowest number first. Feels like they’re testing if you know MX preference values work opposite to what you’d expect.
Nice and clear wording on this one. False
Yeah this is definitely false. With MX records, the lower the number, the higher the priority. So if the number increases, it's actually less preferred. Unless I'm missing something, standard DNS always works that way. Agree?
Yeah that's definitely False. MX priority works in reverse, lower number takes priority over higher one.
Be respectful. No spam.
