I've been seeing less of that. My recent experience is that even
organisations pushing a lot of mail will keep retrying for 24 or 48 hours.
Having said that I have no problem with using backup or multiple primary
MXs if they are properly configured. They should all:
1. Reject undeliverable mail in the first instance.
2. Use the same anti-spam strategies.
3. Receive the same care as any other server (patching, etc)
