We do the same with physically separate backup mx, for mostly the same reasons 
as you. While I'd love to see that capability, I don't believe postscreen has 
it at this time. The packages I've seen that do something like this, for 
example milter-greylist, actually have to communicate between machines which 
postscreen is not doing. 

When we did not use a backup mx, it was amazing how many larger mail systems 
gave up quickly on sending us mail and bounced it back to their users, even 
though the downtime was fairly brief.
