Any single delivery failure or protracted down-time? While you could
use fallback_relay (and a suitable transport table in the fallback
instance main.cf), this is too unpredictable. A more complex approach
based on persistent delivery failure is better, but requires updating
the transport table periodically (parsing the logs, and/or examining the
queue).

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
