Subject: retry rules and failed pipe transports

While there are a few different kinds of errors that can be matched by
retry rules only two, "quota" and "quota_<time>" apply to local delivery,
and then only for the appendfile transport.

How about pipe transports? I have a pipe transport that sometimes will
exit with EX_TEMPFAIL to signal an over quota condition (it uses its own
quota mechanism). I pipe all local deliveries into this transport, and I
would like to set a different limit on retries: 4 days for remote
deliveries, and 1 day for local deliveries.

Is there any way to match any local domain within a retry rule? That
would solve my problem.

Or perhaps there should be a new matchable error for field 2 of the
retry rules for temporarily failed pipe transports.
