I am questioning the validity of the MX sync feature, in my personal
experience with it I ran into quite a number of mail runs which in quick
sequential order process all MX records for the domain in question.

This resulted in the 70% of the spam coming through in my setup. Perhaps
we should add a warning into the man page warning of this.

After disabling the MX communication I see over 50% of the email
greylisting once on the primary and once on the secondary, never to return
again.

Cheers,

Seth
