Why not send all outgoing mail to your ISP's smarthost?

That's already set up by the recipients. They specify, via MX records in their DNS, whether they want mail sent to a backup server if their server is not available.

If you mean a backup smarthost - then, no there's no way to do that. If you are using your ISP's mail server and it is not available, you'll have to wait until it is back up.

I want to setup SME server like MDaemon Server. Try send direct to destination first and then if fail, send to smtp relay. This way is high reliable.
