Such "*very* aggressive" blocking connections only from "strangers" 
(in firewall/iptables) may have some sense on primary MX if postmaster
wants to limit most DDoS attacks to secondary MX and protect mails from
"well known friends" from being affected.

But I think that secondary MXes are slightly "out of fashion" :-)
