Its very similar to greylisting in my opinion (which I already use as
well). Anything to help cut down spam and server load, I'm in favor of. If
some spambots deliberately try to use lower MX servers expecting less
anti-spam measures (which in some cases is true, as we have read on this
list) Any legit email will try again just as in greylisting.
