You can't. DNS/SMTP doesn't have any way of letting
you know to
connect to
another mail server after you have successfully
connected to the
primary one.
What you can do is as you switch users, you can set up
forwarding on
the
primary mail server to forward to the backup mail
server (for example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] could have his E-mail forwarded to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Actually the desired outcome can be accomplished if
configured
differently
then described.. Setup exchange as the primary mail
server and set
"Forward All Mail with Unresolved Recipients" so that
any mail destined
for
recepients not listed in the exchange server will be
forwarded to
IMail...
