Hi, Yes I get that all the time myself. Instead of hitting the main (lower mx) value, they always hit the higher MX value. Not much you can do about it really, since the second mail server needs to accept the mail in case the primary server is down.
I've also seen my primary mail server refuse the mail with a 554 code and seconds later it's hitting the second mail server with what appears to be the same message.

Yoda has a MX value of 10. Skywalker has a MX value of 20. Under normal circumstance all mail comes in through Yoda and all mail is Sent through SkyWalker. They both take over each others roles if one fails though. I have SpamAssassin installed on Yoda but not SkyWalker. I'm receiving spam and it is going through SkyWalker. Has anyone ever heard of spammers purposely avoiding the higher MX value? It doesn't appear that any non-spam is coming in through SkyWalker.
