accept local_parts = foo
domains = bar.com
defer domains = bar.com
Then figure out some router/transport combination, such that mail for
foo@??? both generates an OoO reply and gets forwarded when the
primary comes up.
I don't know that this is advisable (why on earth would I wnat to get an
email saying "I haven't gotten your email yet, but I really look forward
to it"?) but it is possible.
