Do you mean this seriously? I can't see a problem with a secondary
which is using exactly the same config (we normally clone our systems
as the first one except for the lack of the entries in local or
virtual... As long as your primary doesn't go any longer than just a
few minutes, you surely don't need a secondary, but if the hardware
fails, it's possible that it will be down such long (depends highly on
the admins, available spare system etc.) that some mails bounce...
