Wouldn't that cause legit mail to go to the tarpit?
If you were lax in setting this up, possibly. You'd want to have a few
*real* backup MX hosts in line before your very-low-priority tarpit.

Liberals love sex ed because it teaches kids to be safe around their
sex organs. Conservatives love gun education because it teaches kids
to be safe around guns. However, both believe that the other's
education goals lead to dangers too terrible to contemplate.

We have 2 MX hosts and the second has 98% spam, buts its all very high
scoring spam and easy to stop. Does it make more sense to have something
like;
mx1 10 non.answering.host
mx2 20 answering host
mx3 30 answering host
mx4 40 non.answering.host
Do spammers look for a specifically weighted mx, eg always weight 20 -
or do they look for the lowest weighted?
