Why would you turn off the secondary MX? And depending on your
implementation of greylisting if your secondary MX isn't greylisting
also it's IP will be allowed by your greylisting and all of the spam can
get in through the secondary MX in which case you aren't causing them
any backup or grief at all.

Of course there is a point. If your mail server is down remote hosts
will start bouncing your mail. Too many, especially mailing lists, have
a very short bounce time. I've had my mail server down for a few hours
before with no secondary MX and found myself off of lists. linux-kernel
is especially easy to get yourself bounced off of.
