More details:

1. The 3 servers are in diferents networks... 
2. My higher's mx servers (mx 15 and mx 20) receive a lot of legitimate
mail.. It also received a lot of spam too.... :-(
3. MX1 server is in the main network (backbone).. It's the most
accesible network of the others Mx's
4. Mx 2 and Mx 3 are constantly receiving messages... Like if the dns
were the same MX record for the three servers..

Regards
Israel

are you seeing spam or "real" mail through the higher ordinal MX hosts?


spammers often target higher ordinal MX hosts because they assume that
there are fewer blocks there (e.g., the user base isn't checked).

if it's "real" mail, it can simply be that the lower ordinal MX hosts
are seen as slow by some sender's mail hosts.
