Ah. I had misunderstood that. Sven's later message pointing out that the
limit is on a transport also makes it clear that this is indeed what is
wanted.
I don't think there is any way to do this at present. On the Wish List
is the following item:
(93) 04-May-1999 L fallback_transport
This would be a generic transport option, specifying a different transport to
be used if the first one failed. Failed hard, or failed soft? Or an option?
If I ever implement it, it could be used for this kind of thing by
falling back to an autoreply transport.
