I think this is a side effect of the way Postini (and some others) do mail filtering for enterprises -- basically they sell a mail forwarding service, which you create as your low-score MX record, they scrub mail, then forward to your "real" mail server. The sales pitch says "If our service goes down, you have no outage, because your server's still there as a fallback". Unfortunately, the spammers have caught on to that now.
