If you just have two email systems operating in parallel with > 50%
spare capacity, you'll get the behaviour you want for free because of
the way smtp works.

This is assuming that your machines are MXs. If they are submission
servers or smarthosts, the client systems are too crap to implement
failover, so you'll have to use some IP-level failover solution (e.g. a
BigIP from F5 labs, if you want something expensive and full-featured).
