Assuming you have scanning and whatnot running on the backup machine
(otherwise you are opening a bad path), you can have the backup machine
deliver directly to your MTA behind amavis and just save the resources.

I may be making assumptions. I use postfix; so in a postfix config
amavisd is a standalone on some port (10024) and postfix runs a "return
path" smtp daemon running on another arbitrary port (10025). Normally
this is all done on the same machine so these ports are only available
on via 127.0.0.1; however, I have my backup smtp servers' copy of amavis
configured to deliver to the "return path" port on the main server. This
way; the amavis on the main server is skipped. The firewall on the main
server is configured to only allow the backup machine access to the
return port.

I don't know if this is a common approach for non-postfix MTA [sorry].
