I want it to use the MX RR's. I just want it to use the special
portnumber only for somehost.example.com, and not all of the other MX
RR's. (like mx.example.com)
This is how upstream postfix works still, 20 years later: for smtp
delivery you can specify single instance in form smtp:domain:port,
where each MX for domain is connected using the specified port.
There's no such thing like a list of destinations to try.
So you have to make smtp listeners available on the same port on
all MXes.
