Actually with a small modification, you could make that work. Set the
'HoldExpensive' option for your secondary MX and don't configure it to
run the queue. The messages will be dropped into the queue and left there
until such time as you sort and run the queue by hand (or set the queue
run interval to something like 12 hours, so if you're too busy to get to
the hand sorting they will eventually get delivered auto-magically).
More hand work, but safest way.
