Please do not top-post.
Terrible idea. Backup MX at a site that you do not control becomes (rapidly) a spam magnet. Backup MX is entirely unnecessary.
I do not agree. I think it is not a good idea to allow my client see a warning about my server unavailability.
The MX bkp server just cache your e-mails while you are off-line. It is not routine, it is for a emergency.
The relay is closed and it send just for your MX "master", when available.
Is there any problem here?
The only mail that regularly comes through my secondary mx is spam. I tend to side with those who say it's not necessary.
In my environment all mail has to go to one particular box - where the imap servers are - before my users can see it. If that machine's down, the mail has to queue somewhere and the senders' servers are fine by me. They should q there for some hours without the senders noticing, and that's long enough to cater for most outages, scheduled or unscheduled.
