There is a very simple solution. If you have two public IP, configure the second server as the secondary MX. If you have a single IP, allot a private IP to the second one and give a domain name and create dns entries for it in the first server. Configure first server to send a copy of the mails it receive to second server and use a script like expire-mail to remove mails older than 1-2 days from the second server. There is no need to buy big elephants that eat a lot of power and space.
