The server needs a bypass switch if the main server goes down. You will have to have the bypass directly connected with the mail server, and switch when the main goes off, then they have to log into their mail to retrieve it on the server. You could also try having a miniature version of the main server's setup on the mail server, and any other servers, that allow them to connect to them independently.
