It may need some cleaning, but with 2.7.0-pre12 you may provide a
failover server for any *_method which uses an smtp or lmtp protocol.
A limitation is that all alternatives must use the same protocol
(e.g. you can't mix a 'local:' with 'smtp:' in the same list).
For example:
$archive_quarantine_method =
[ 'smtp:[::1]:20025', 'smtp:[10.0.0.10]:10025' ];
@archive_quarantine_to_maps = ( 'quarant...@example.com' );

I'm not inclined to such solution. Either you need an archive, in which case
it is best for the mail flow to halt during times when a service can't be
ensured. If you don't need an archive, then don't request one.
An alternative may be to use always_bcc or its brothers at the MTA level.
