iii) Get rid of the second MX. A second MX doesn't get you anything unless your primary has been down for at least 24 hours, and if that happens you'll have other things to worry about.

You sure ? I have a courier box doing secondary MX for our main sendmail based server and I see a fairly constant stream of mail destined for users on that sendmail server _all_ the time. I thought a 2nd MX would get used as soon as the primary was unavailable so I don't see how iii) can be a viable option.

My experience is that a secondary MX is used based on the connectivity from receiving MTA. Not all routes on the Internet are equal.
