I suspect that may well be the case. But seeing as I'm only talking
about relatively small amounts of spam at the moment, and I like the
added security of an independant backup MX, I'm going to try out my plan
for now.

So, via the wonder of ZoneEdit.com, I've added my extra MX and we'll see
what kind of impact it has.

Thanks to everyone whop replied!
