That is _much_ less true than it was. I really don't see it as a
serious problem compared with the problems of secondary MXes which
aren't controlled by the same policy as the primary. (If you _do_
control your secondary MX, great. If it's controlled by an ISP, expect
the spammers to try it first.)
