relay_domains: YOU specify what domains you accept.
permit_mx_backup: RANDOM STRANGERS specify what domains you accept.
In addition, YOU can validate recipients with relay_recipient_maps
so that YOU don't become a backscatter source. There is no equivalent
mechansm for permit_mx_backup, making you a backscatter source.
