It's also a debatable value, in light of the store-and-forward nature of SMTP ; if your primary MX is not responding, your mail should be held in queue at the sender's MTA until it comes back up anyway.
It's always better to trust your own system to do the right thing (ie, store your mail until the primary comes back up) than it is to trust some random mail admin to do the right thing (ie, hold mail for you, retry at decent intervals). More often than not, the random mail admin will bounce mail for you as undeliverable, non-existing domain, etc.
