DNS MX Record test - check list has not changed

Hi Alex,

Well done on the new features in HostMonitor 6.70beta and 6.72beta.

The new DNS MX record test is very good, but it appears to only be able to check individual records and not the entire list.

I believe the test would be more robust if it had the following options:

Check MX list has not changed

So that we could test for

Test result for [ mx1, mx2, mx3 ]

The test is bad if list changes in any way (including if new records are found).

We would fail the test if it returns mx1, mx2, mx3, mx4

mx4 could for instance be a misconfigured mailserver, that will reject mail for example - therefore if it is not in our authorised list we should fail the test.

Is there any change this test could be modifed to include the above test conditions?

Regards,
