I, too, was wondering about a similar situation, in which I wish to be a
secondary mail exchanger for foo.com. I would be listed in DNS
appropriately, and with sendmail, I remember just setting the smarthost and
delivery host for that domain to the primary mail exchanger.
Is there a dirt-simple way of configuring qmail to queue mail for foo.com,
attempting delivery to a mail.foo.com when it receives mail bound for
foo.com, and holding that mail (without giving deferral notices) until
mail.foo.com comes back online in the event that it is down?
That make sense? :)

Subject: secondary mail relay
What is the best way to send email's already in a remote queue to a user
account
on the system in question for later injection back into the mail server
for sending
later when a down mail server is back up and running?
I was already thinking of setting the client in question up to use our
virtual mail
server as their primary mail server (only invovles an MX record
change). Is this
the best method (to keep from having to make changes to my primary mail
server which
is listed as their secondary mail server) Any help is greatly
appreciated as I'm
still very new to this. Thank you.
