No, ASSP has no capability to do store-and-forward. The "P" in ASSP is Proxy - which means it just proxies the connection through to the MTA. If the MTA is down, then the message does not get delivered. But I agree with others here - if the MTA is not answering VRFY requests, and ASSP is set up to VRFY against it, then ASSP should issue a temporary fail and let the sender try again later.
