I've asked the same question a few months ago and was looking at having
multiple mail_replicas or using round robin DNS for the mail_replica.
Here's how I "solved" it:
Server A, B, C
A -> B
on A set mail_replica = B
Mail arrives at A, syncs to B
B -> C
on B set mail_replica = C
Mail arrives at B, syncs to C
C -> A
on C set mail_replica = A
Mail arrives at C, syncs to A
The more you add the higher the delays.
Not the best solution but it works.
Timo please add multiple mail_replicas and maybe priorities for high latency
links.
