I've got a question about secondary MX records.  I understand mail is
routed to the secondary (next higher number) if there is a failure
transfering to the primary.  I'm using pop to pull my email from my
server.  My question is this:  If email gets sent to the secondary, does
it get transfered to the primary at a later time, or would I have to pop
from the secondary server?
