Hi there, a while back I posted a question about my attempt to configure my 
sendmail box to relay/spool mail for another domain.

I was helped along by simply adding the domains (Not mine, the ones I want to 
spool for) to  /etc/mail/relay-domains   
 
This seems to work for allowing these domains to use my mail server as a 
relay and to accept the mail and pass it on.  
 
The problem:  When I unplug the other mail server and send an article of mail 
out the message queue's up in my server as I expect it to  (I am listed as a 
secondary MX for their domain)    15 minutes or so later the mail will bounce 
back saying the message could not be delivered with one of two errors.  1 (MX 
points back to myself)  (The sendmail server is also my DNS server)  Or  The 
message could not be delivered.  
 
Is this what is supposed to happen by default?

If I want my server to hang onto a given piece of email for 10 days or so and 
continue to try to deliver, is there something else I need to set.  I find 
the sendmail.cf help files a little vague on this  (Yes I know Sendmail is a 
nightmare to configure...)
