1) IF smarthost has MX records
THEN a way to provide redundancy is available
2) IF smarthost has no MX record but multiple A records
THEN a way to provide redundancy is available
3) IF you contact smarthost via default mailer ("relay" mailer)
OR via another built in SMTP mailer (esmtp,smtp,smtp8,dsmtp)
THEN you can define SMART_HOST as "fall-back list" e.g.
define(SMART_HOST,`smart_host_1:smart_host_2:smart_host_3')
