Mail delivery backups

I've been 'graced' with the administration of 3 different Linux
boxes: 2 of them are DEC Alpha servers running RH7.2, one of them an
x86 running RH9.

What I'd like to do is to make sure that each of them is able to
cache email destined for the others in the event that any two of them
fail. I'm sure that it's more than just adding DNS MX records for
each of them in the bind config file :-/

Could someone give me an overview or some guidance on what I need to
do?
