IAITM (it's all in the manual)
32.1 Retry rules
Each retry rule occupies one line and consists of three parts,
separated by white space: a pattern, an error name, and a list of
retry parameters. The pattern must be enclosed in double quotes if it
contains white space. The rules are searched in order until one is
found whose pattern matches the failing host or address.
The pattern is any single item that may appear in an address list (see
section 10.18). It is in fact processed as a one-item address list,
which means that it is expanded before being tested against the
address that has been delayed.
Then if you read 10.18 you will find that there are several forms of
pattern that can match sets of addresses, including forms such as
