Default secondary

If by secondary, you mean a different MX priority in DNS, be careful. A lot of spammers target the backup mail servers because there is a greater chance of less spam filtering.

In the past, I have seen places which have their primary with the spam filter, and a secondary without spam filtering blocked by the firewall. In the event of an emergency, where the primary had failed, the secondary firewall rule would be removed.
