I've checked DNS entries etc. websiteworld.com. 3600 IN MX 10 unfiltered.websiteworld.com. websiteworld.com. 3600 IN MX 100 mail.websiteworld.com. websiteworld.com. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.websiteworld.com. websiteworld.com. 3600 IN MX 10 filtered.websiteworld.com. mail.websiteworld.com. 3600 IN A 216.23.168.145 filtered.websiteworld.com. 3600 IN A 216.23.168.146 unfiltered.websiteworld.com. 3600 IN A 216.23.168.147 mail, filtered and unfiltered are all listed as equal-preference MXs for websiteworld.com. That means anyone sending to websiteworld.com will pick one of those at random to try first - in this case it was unfiltered. You should note that even if you do meddle with the priorities, spammers often try not-best-preference MXs deliberately, in the (often correct) assumption that backup servers have less rigorous spam protection. If you don't want mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] going through unfiltered.websiteworld.com, it shouldn't be listed as an MX at all.
