	Why bother.  A proper analysis will show you that this is a
	waste of time.
	
	Why don't you just have multiple MX records and configure your
	firewall to only accept SMTP connections from the other MX's.
	Note you should have your firewall send resets rather than silently
	ignoring the SMTP traffic.

	Also this is very off topic.
