This is completely off the wall...
Maybe set CF to poll the \SPOOL\ once a day(or some heniously high value)
and have a script transfer the files to another server for delivery? The
transfer woukld be completely based on the target being up AND would have a
failover should there be a problem. I would stay away from simply using a
mapped or UNC directory for the spool.
Writing a probe to see if the Undelivr is climbing and then have that probe
call you ( community.voxeo.com ) would be ultra cool. I have done this for
several different types of events across 95 servers. If someone's
Transaction log goes above 80%, a site develops more than 200 application
errors in 30 minutes, 3 PCODE errors in 10 minutes, 5 Hung Threads for an
application, I get called.
It is certainly worth looking into. Also, keep in mind that the Mail.log(or
Error.log on older versions) and the files in the \Undelivr\ directory match
1:1. For instance:
>From the Mail.log
