More details:
1. The 3 servers are in diferents networks... 2. My higher's mx servers (mx 15 and mx 20) receive a lot of legitimate mail.. It also received a lot of spam too.... :-( 3. MX1 server is in the main network (backbone).. It's the most accesible network of the others Mx's 4. Mx 2 and Mx 3 are constantly receiving messages... Like if the dns were the same MX record for the three servers..

are you seeing spam or "real" mail through the higher ordinal MX hosts?
spammers often target higher ordinal MX hosts because they assume that there are fewer blocks there (e.g., the user base isn't checked).
if it's "real" mail, it can simply be that the lower ordinal MX hosts are seen as slow by some sender's mail hosts.

I've installed bind on centos 4.3.. This is a part of my config file:
example.com. IN MX 10 mail.example.com. example.com. IN MX 15 mail1.example.com. example.com. IN MX 20 mail2.example.com.
mail.example.com. IN A x.x.x.x mail1.example.com. IN A x.x.x.x mail2.example.com. IN A x.x.x.x
Every seems to be fine, but I'm constantly receiving messages in my 3 MX servers, even if mail.example.com (the less MX record) is available
waiting for connections from outside... Why if my less mx record server is available the others servers are constantly receiving messages for my domain?
Thanks for your time Israel
