Hello, In our setup, we have a database on the master server, which is continously replicated to the backup. When the master fails for any reason (network error, hw crash, anything), mail is sent to the lower priority backup (master has priority of 10, backup is 20). When a mail arrives on the backup server, it checks the recipient against the replicated database, and if it exists, it tries to send the mail to the master server (smarthost). As the master is unreachable, it will keep trying for a few days. This way if we fail to correct the problem with the master, the mail will be lost, but we can react fast, so this has no chance with this large retry time on the backup (10 days if I recall well).
