Because the backup MX is not in my control. Yes, I could put a secondary MX on my network and have identical rcpt/spam checking but if my T1 goes down, the primary and secondary mx both go down. We cannot afford redundant network connections at this time. I guess one solution would be to have a server hosted at another ISP but under my control but the cost of that would probably not be to much less than a backup DSL line or such.
