IIRC from back in the day, when I ran sendmail for an ISP, the host
status tracking was done by hostname, not by IP.  Having multiple MX
records pointing to hostnames with a single IP worked better than a
single MX record pointing to a hostname with multiple IPs.  I don't
remember if a single queue run tried multiple IPs for the same host or
not.

That's old knowledge, and I don't know how modern mailers handle things
(haven't had need to look at that in a while).
