Unsent mail stays on a system (unless somebody deleted it), I believe it is in /var/spool/mail. If all you want is to get the mail off the system just grab those files. It could be a lot of work as you will probably want to parse out the messages.

If you have a 'real' mail server in your environment, you could configure SMARTHOST relay to deliver the mail to the mail server and let it deliver the mail.

Kind of confusing of what you are looking for and lack of info, what distro? Example, RH you could configure sendmail, Ubuntu would use postfix, etc. And you still have a wide range of choices as to how you want to configure.
