MailScanner doesn't have anything to do with message delivery - that's 
the job of your MTA.

Provided the mailboxes are not on the same box as MailScanner; you don't 
need to do anything.  Your MTA will automatically queue mail to the 
destination system if it is down or not responding.

Cheers,
Steve.
