[Mailman-Users] Mailman redundancy

A simpler solution would be to use backup mail servers. It would
be fairly hard (IMHO) to keep multiple mailman installs in sync.
I would use the main DSL server to actually run the list, but add
in 2 other MX servers to "hold" your mail until your line comes
back...

zone file:

    IN    MX 5    primary.server.com.
    IN    MX 10   secondary.server.com.
    IN    MX 15   third.server.com.

Where I get fuzzy, is on how to configure the second and third servers
to "hold" mail until your box is reachable.

Can anyone else help here?
