What I did is the same thing. I have two systems in a cluster that forwards
all mail to another system. On system 1 remove everything for the locals
file, then make a file called smtproutes and put this in it:
system1.com:system2.com
My MX records have system 1 as primary and system 2 as secondary. This way
if system 1 goes down, mail goes to system 2, and if system 2 goes down mail
is held on system 1 until system 2 comes back on line.

Subject: Two qmail servers communicating
I have a setup with two qmail servers on different machines (call them
machine 1 and machine 2). Machine 1's qmail has to send all its mail to
machine 2's qmail, which delivers the messages to their final destination.
If machine 1 is disconnected from the network, its qmail has to hold the
messages until it can establish contact with machine 2.
My question is: Should I use normal SMTP for the two qmails to
communicate, or should I use QMQP or QMTP? (If it's the latter two, how do
I do it?)
