No Mail Server should generate bounces for unroutable mail ?????
That may be so,  but plenty still do.

Also, I may be wrong on this, but (even if you validate usernames on your own
mailserver at SMTP time) if you publish a secondary MX which belongs to your ISP
(to accept mail in event of yr own server going phut),  the ISP will accept
mail for any old user and then bounce it back to the sender when it eventually
trys to send it to your primary MX and fails.

Personally, I rather dislike the idea in this day and age of email going
other than by direct SMTP from Senders own MX to Receivers own MX.

If everybody did that it might be a bit easier to prevent a certain  amount of
crap entering the net.
