No,  IMail's  not amenable. Yes, the MX algorithm would _otherwise_ be
helpful.

I  appreciate  your  attempt to work within the product at hand and to
think  of IMail-based workarounds. (I know you don't need my approval,
but it does make for a much more pleasant thread.)

Unfortunately,  your suggestion won't work. IMail won't check the path
availability until the delivery process (SMTP32/QM).

There  may  be  other  ways to tweak it, but none could be easier than
setting  up the old server as a s&f gateway for the new one during the
transition, as a number of people of suggested.
