Is there any way to stop the blocked mail from being sent to the backup host or is this just the natural consequence on the backup server scheme? (undeliverable at MX priority 10, the automatically sent to MX priority 20)
It works as designed and intended. If an MX does not receive the mail, the next MX'es are tried in increasing order of weight.
Thanks Carlos, Chuck and Per!
I've been on a witch hunt against script kiddies and spammers lately. The ssh on a high port was magic at stopping the kiddies cold, looking at the mail issue, it makes sense that the backup would simply have to deal with the mail that is rejected from the primary, but I thought I would just check to make sure no one had a silver-bullet in their bag of tricks.
You actually should deal with this is as soon as possible, since it's backscattering.
