Nathan,
Depends on how the secondary server is configured. Some will send a
bounce says that there was an attempt made to deliver, but that it has
failed for the past 4 hours, but it will keep trying for the next 24,
etc. Some secondarys will hold onto the mail indefinitely. Typically,
most will bounce after 24-48 hours, though.
Regards,
