You speak so straight forward about "backup MX" while I suspect you don't really know what that means. Maybe you and we (those involved in this thread) have different definitions for what a backup MX server is. Server X is only then a backup MX server if and only if it knows about the domains the primary MX is responsible for! Else it is just a second mail server for a different set of domains. In other words, if your server X has only domains in the local-host-names files which are not in that file on server Y you have no backup MX. You then have 2 independent mail servers and a misconfigured DNS. In this sense Steve's questions and hints were totally right.
