  A few years ago (sendmail 8.9 timeframe), I setup a configuration
  like this.

  I used a dedicated sendmail queue for these customers,
  ie. /var/spool/mqueue.etrn on the backup MX machine.  A script
  periodically moved queued messages for the etrn customers to the
  dedicated queue.  An incoming tcp port 25 connection was used to
  invoke a customized sendmail command for that customer via specific
  hosts.deny entries, ie.:

sendmail: mailhost.customer1.com : spawn (/usr/sbin/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue.etrn -qR@customer1.com >> /var/log/mqueue.etrn 2>&1) & : ALLOW

sendmail: mailhost.customer2.com : spawn (/usr/sbin/sendmail -oQ/var/spool/mqueue.etrn -qR@customer2.com >> /var/log/mqueue.etrn 2>&1) & : ALLOW

  The customer used this mechanism by locally issuing an etrn command
  to the backup MX when they wanted to receive accumulated mail.

  The forementioned script was based on re-mqueue.pl which is included
  in the sendmail.org tarball.  If you're interested, I'll look for
  the version I used.
