I suppose, the log excerpt shown above describes a message that
was rejected by your backup MX.
If so, everything is OK: Your backup MX does _not_ accept the message
because it "spam-scored" too high. As _your_ server did _not_ accept
it, the MTA on the other side has to deal with sending a bounce
message.

If not, escribe your setup etc. in more detail.

Gruss/Regards,
