If you were somehow able to route the email thru qmtp to a qmtp
server, you can specify multiple qmtp servers. If the first connection
is dead it tries the next line in the file.
That would allow you to send to a backup machine.
Of course all three machines would have to be running qmail.
And the relay machine would have to use the mini-qmail install.

immediately and try to send it there.
You might have to setup two qmail queues.
