Another method is to write a tiny shell script that calls
sendmail/msmtp/etc. If it fails, file the message in your "unsent"
folder. Untested uncommented example:
#!/bin/sh
set -ue
tmp=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/tmp$$
trap 'rm -f "$tmp"; exit 0' 0
trap 'rm -f "$tmp"; exit 1' 1 3 15
cat >"$tmp"
${SENDMAIL:-sendmail} -oi ${1+"$@"} \
|| DEFAULT=your-unsent-folder procmail /dev/null <"$tmp"
exit 0
Then use that script in place of msmtp. Set $SENDMAIL to msmtp or
whatever.

missing there is no limit to the damage that can unwittingly be done.
