Do you mean there is a setting of "hosts" on the SMTP transport? Failure
there is deliberately remembered as "R" because it is a routing failure.
"D" failures correspond to actual delivery attempts, and their retry
database keys include the IP address, which of course is not available
if the DNS lookup has failed.
