I'm not sure (never really fiddled with retry-rules) but IIRC you can
use a domainlist as a match.

The pattern is any single item that may appear in an address list (see
section 10.12). It is in fact processed as a single-item address list,
which means that it is expanded before being tested against the address
which has been delayed. Address list processing treats a plain domain
name as if it were preceded by '*@', which makes it possible for many
retry rules to start with just a domain. For example,

try to use

*@+special_domains * F,24h,30m;
or maybe:

+special_domains * F,24h,30m;

But I think the first one will work.
