Hi i may fail here, but
wouldnt it be better to have real loadbalancing
( which includes failover ) on a loadbalanced shared ip
an configure postfix and dovecot using same hostname ?
then there should not be any differnce in a mails filename

but evtl this solves your problem more easy
depends on your setup if using lda

from example
##
## LDA specific settings
##

protocol lda {
  # Address to use when sending rejection mails.
  postmaster_address = postmaster at example.com

  # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id.
  # Default is the system's real hostname.
  #hostname =
