Yes - that's a favorite trick of spammers to hit the backup server. If you want you can add a third (fake) backup server:

tarbaby.junkemailfilter.com

It returns 451 on everything and gets rid of some of that spam (spammers don't retry) and I get some training data for my black lists.

Hi friends,
On Debian Jessie, Postfix 2.11.3 and Spamassassin 3.4.0-6, I've just setup an MX email backup server and now I realize that new spam come from the MX backup server.. Is there any way to tell to reject any mail coming to the MX backup server, if the primary server is up? And again, many spam email came from a mine fake and nonexistent "alias", for example:

on my server I guest i...@foo.org, and its alias: ali...@foo.org and ali...@foo.org, and stop. The spam come from ali...@foo.org, that doesn't exist, how I could reject and prevent to delivery from these address, without compromise the backup server?



Many many thanks!
