Subject: fake MX records
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/OtherTricks this page mentions
setting up fake MXes
Is this method relevant today too with a lot of spam being
relayed through proper smtp channels
The page says the primary MX should not be accepting
connections at all. Has anyone else tried this , will this
cause delay in my mail
Yes, and some systems might not ever send you email (they violate RFC's)
We've had one issue with this. Our primary MX is firewalled off so that
it only accepts mail from our large networks and therefor local mail
doesn't have to compete with spam. There was on weird mailer that is
being used that doesn't try other MXs. We were able to get past this by
opening up the firewall to this small business to accept their mail.
