No, they don't, when they're set up properly. I prefer that when the primary
mail server is down that incoming mail is stored on the secondary so that I
know how much there is, to be able to view some of it if it's urgent, and to
flush it as I like when the primary goes back online.
The problem that Santiago descries can be fixed with callouts (callbacks as
exim3 likes to put it), but debian-admin is wary of enabling it in general.
However, they could probably be enabled only for select domains, which would
make the redundant MXs less of a spam-target.
