No, you do not want a virtual domain.
Follow your steps 1, 2, 3.
As long as their mail server is online then mail will go to it directly.
If their server is down then their mail will go to your server and will
stay in your spool. When their server comes up then your sever will
deliver anything in the spool.

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMTP gateway/backup mail spooler
We use Imail v6.06 to serve mail to our internal mail and about 100
virtual
domains. One of our customers is moving their email to an internal
Exchange
server and we are interested in spooling mail for them in the case their
server is down.
I read the kb articles about this. From what I read this is what I
believe
I need to do:
1. Setup an MX record with a lower priority pointing to our Imail
server.
2. Add their Domain info in the NT host file.
3. Add their IP address to allow mail relay.
But what I don't know, is if I need to add a virtual domain for them or
how
I would set it up. Does Imail automatically know to hold the mail? It
can't be that easy. Has anyone done this?
