I read the question as "If the first attempt fails, transfer this
message to another machine so that the resources of the main machine will
not be used up by the set of deferrals that will sit there for a week before
bouncing. Have the second machine spend a week attempting delivery while
the main machine continually buzzes through new mail."
That would be very useful with a sendmail machine. I think the mail
load would have to be pretty high for it to pay off with a qmail machine.
