Typically you use the upper smtp server to spool the messages. ASA the kolab 
server is then available the upstream server starts to send the messages 
automatically. In addition you may use something like "defer smtp" on the 
upstream smtp server.

If the mail got delivered to some final user mailbox you have already lost the 
smtp envelopes... There a tools available which try to create a reasonable 
envelope from theses messages.

Last but not least you may transport the messages to the imap server via smtp, 
lmtp or imap.
