Not many people use peering, because nobody really seems to be able to
explain the benefits of it (although you split the load between two
servers, you also double the load, as 1/2 of the E-mails go to the wrong
server).
Have a backup (gateway) mailserver would work fine, though. Your MX record
would show the IP of the gateway server, which would receive the mail and
scan it, and send it to the existing mailserver (which would no longer need
to scan the E-mail). Offloading the virus scanning would reduce the CPU
usage of the existing server.
