activating a backup server I realized that some spammers using this server to send spam to my relay_recipient_maps addresses. Spam is then successfully forwarded to the main server.

Is there a parameter to prevent this type of action? A type check "do not receive email if the main server is reachable...?

Or should I operate directly by SpamAssassin?

Your backup servers should have the same filtering in place as your
main server.  If not, spam will sneak through.


it's so

For a simple setup, a separate backup server will often do more harm
than good.

If you're using postscreen and you have multiple IP addresses
configured,, you should investigate the
``postscreen_whitelist_interfaces`` option to give spammers who try
backup MXes a hard time.

no, I've not multiple IP addresses configured..

Last time I checked, it was not possible to share the postscreen
temporary whitelist between machines.
