They would all handle that, straight out of the box. Mail spooling is a basic MTA function. (I remember looking at great piles of backed up mail on a company-wide mailserver which used sendmail and uucp over dial-up, back in the early 1990s, when the internet in Australia had only spread to universities and companies.) I have ADSL, but may not remember to turn on the modem before composing some emails. Postfix will spool them, and automatically send them after the ADSL link comes up. The others will too. Maybe look up the manual on the preferred MTA candidate, and check for an easy to understand command to flush the queue, in case you ever need to manually free a logjam for some reason, and you want to get e.g. a resume out fast.
