The original sender's server trys to contact the main server and it
fails. It then sucessfully contacts the backup and delivers the
message.
The backup then tries to contact the main server and fails, then
contacts the backup (itself) and delivers the message. Then the new
message goes through the entire process again! It contacts the main
and fails, then contacts the backup and delivers... and so on and so
on...

The main server delivers mail to local users only..
