Todd, I used to recommend backup MX servers in the past, too.
Today, I strongly advice *against* using backup MX servers because: - Backup MX servers tend to be misconfigured over time - Backup MX servers are usually more open to spamming (e.g. no recipient verification, less checks) - If you use a backup MX, the sender has no way to notice that his mail is delayed - If your mail server has a problem, have the *sender* Mailhost retry, rather than a third (backup MX) system I wonder what the general recommendation for backup MX is among the list members.
