Yes, that makes a certain amount of sense, I suppose. Especially as it's
more _likely_ to be a spammer if they're connecting the secondary MX
while the primary is actually alive.
But still, there aren't that many things that the primary MX would be
rejecting for that the secondary couldn't also reject for, based on the
same information. Except that the secondary might also have to pander to
the "I _like_ my daily pr0n-spam" nutters, I suppose :)
