The first thing I'd suggest is talking to your ISP to see if they do mail caching. This is a good thing to have on all the time anyway, incase you lose your internet connection, or the exchange server crashes unexpectedly for some reason...

A couple weeks from now, over the long Christmas weekend, we need to take our Exchange server off-line for a few days to perform some maintenance... In the time period it's down, nobody will be in the office so we don't need to worry about disrupring the day-to-day operations of the users... The only problem we can foresee is that incoming email can't be received because the Exchange server will be off and people outside the company will get NDR's because their mail can't be delivered to us (for possibly up to three days)... What can I use as a temporary queue to hold all the incoming email and then will allow me to dump the queued SMTP messages to the Exchange server once it's back up and running? Something simple (and free) is preferred, all I need is a queue to hold the messages while we perform our maintenance and deliver the items when we're through... TIA for any suggestions!
