The CudaMail Filtered MX Record Backup Service is designed for companies
with an existing
Spam Firewall OR for companies who need backup mailbagging service
if their mail server goes down.
When your primary MX record fails the sending mail server will
attempt to send the mail to your secondary MX record. If your secondary MX
record is the same as your primary MX record, no email will flow through to
your mail server.
If you currently have a Barracuda Spam Firewall in place...
If you set your secondary MX records to point to the CudaMail servers,
and your own Barracuda Spam Firewall fails, ours will continue to deliver
cleaned email to your organization. This redundancy will help to ensure the
continuation of your spam-blocking service. In addition, we have a
Geographically Redundant filter across the city for extra protection and
continued service. That makes your protection "doubly redundant".

MX Records and Spam Firewalls" whitepaper. It defines MX records and

If you need a mailbagging service for your mail server...
If your mail server goes down, and your secondary MX records are pointing
at CudaMail, our mailbagging service holds all email directed at your failed
mail server.
This service is provided for up to 48 hours - enough time for you to get
your mail server back up and running. At that point, we will deliver all
mailbagged email to your mail server. This redundancy will help to ensure
that critical emails are not lost, and are delivered to the right
destination.
As you know, spammers are crafty and often direct mail toward MX2
intentionally to avoid the primary spam filter you might have in place. The
CudaMail Backup Service will help thwart those attempts, reducing the amount
of spam reaching your mail server through MX2.
