   Yes seriously.  Most MTA's will queue email for at least 3 days, so 
   unless your hardware failure lasts that long then you should be 
   fine.

But not always.  My ISP (which shall remain nameless -- ;-) bounced an
email I sent myself from work after trying to deliver it for less than
an hour.  To add insult to injury, the only reason they couldn't deliver
it was because of their own internal outage -- an outage that lasted
five hours.  So I am considering an alternate MX myself.  (Yes, I know;
a better solution would be to get another ISP.)
