No, I think that is not really a solution. With much hardware I just
delay the critical point but I can't remove it completely. But why
should I buy more and more hardware if there are a lot of messages only,
say, once a month and the server can cope with the mail very good the
rest of the time? Furthermore, think about a malicious DOS attack, you
won't win with more servers (I assume you're talking about round robin
in the DNS servers to share the load).
