Correct.

Not in the retry rules.

You could build-your own deferring by inserting a router with the same
pre-conditions, that deferred according to your own rules, and passed
otherwise to the router that routes to the transport. But that is a
rather non-elegant approach.

Or you could use a queryprogram router to combine it all, but of course
that is expensive.

Oh, in that case, surely what you do is to make the retry rule find the
domain from a file or lookup or named domain list in the same way you
find the domain for the router.
