... yeah?

These days sending sites will hang onto mail for a long time if they
can't reach your MXes; it's pretty hard to lose any. "Only spammers
use secondary MX"; I can't see much benefit to a secondary MX for
individuals or small organisations provided you a) will notice when
your primary MX goes down and b) have a good procedure to deal with
that situation quickly.
