Either...
nslookup -query=mx domain.name
... and look for lines like...
domain.name preference = 20, mail exchanger = mail2.domain.name
domain.name preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.domain.name
... or ...
dig mx domain.name
... and look for lines like...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
domain.name. 1H IN MX 10 mail.domain.name.
domain.name. 1H IN MX 20 mail2.domain.name.
