More Spam on Backup MX Hosts

[Mike Kercher]

Yes...it's a common tactic by a lot of Spamware to hit lower priority MX
records first in hopes that they will be less secure than the primaries.

Subject: More Spam on Backup MX Hosts




Has anyone else noticed that a greater percentage of mail is spam on the
backup MX hosts? 
Almost all the email received on my 3rd MX host is spam. 
Is this a deliberate strategy by spammers?
