If you can't clone your primary setup onto your secondary and you can't live
without a secondary, here's another possibility.  Only accept mail at the
secondary when the primary is down.  This should greatly limit the damage,
since your primary will rarely be down.  If you refuse a connection at your
secondary MX and they don't retry at your primary, you can be pretty sure it
wasn't real mail.
