I hate to be a pain with this, but I cannot figure out why it will not
work.

I tried the hosts_treat_as_local and added the correct domain for it.
I didn't touch local_domains, because I don't want the mail delivered
locally, I want it held and sent to the real server when it comes back
online. I also looked at allow_localhost and set it here:

remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
allow_localhost

But now exim freezes all messages, which according to the manual,
"Exim freezes the message by default. However, if allow_localhost is
set, it goes on to do the delivery anyway".

Do I have it stuck in the wrong place? Again, I apologize for wasting
everyone's time with this, but I can only assume that backup MX
servers are a common thing and I know at least one of them has to be
using exim :)
