As I understand fallback_hosts it is basically a host that mail is
delivered to assuming a MX lookup fails and that no available hosts are
available for delivery on the domain.
Am I incorrect on this? I am looking for a host to send mail to if any of
the following occur:
* dns lookup fails
* SMTP session is closed while communicating with destination server
before complete (for any reason and at any point in the SMTP session)
Basically any reason the mail would be deferred, then it would deliver to
another specified host for processing.
