Each relay's MX preference, beside its public name in the relay's settings. Where this server publishes a domain's DNS, the relays are its MX set (relay spec, RL-25; inbuxa-server #268). A server from before #268 sends no mxPreference, so the field reads 10, the server's default.

The help for Linked said turning a relay off closes its port 25. It doesn't: the relay keeps its mail and goes on taking mail in, held. The help now says so. The public name's help now says it goes in the MX and SPF records.

Previewed against a local server built from #268: a relay stored before the field existed shows 10, and setting it to 20 saved only that value (checked over JMAP).

Checks: typecheck, lint, i18n:check, 965 tests, build, notice-check.

A relay's settings get its MX preference, beside its public name: where
this server publishes a domain's DNS, the relays are its MX set (relay
spec, RL-25). A server from before that sends none, and the field reads
10, the server's default.

The help for Linked said turning a relay off closes its port 25. It
doesn't: the relay keeps its mail and goes on taking mail in, held, and
the help now says so. The public name's help says it goes in the MX and
SPF records.
