*nods* I saw that, but wasn't entirely sure how it was calculated. For
reference, the complete retry ruleset:

# Domain                                Error   Retries
# ------                                -----   -------
*                                       *       senders=:       G,4h,5m,2
cdb*@;/etc/mail/retry/dialup.cdb        *       F,28d,7d
cdb*@;/etc/mail/retry/server.cdb        *       F,2h,15m; F,16h,1h; F,14d,8h
cdb*@;/etc/mail/retry/local.cdb         *       F,2h,15m; F,16h,1h; F,14d,8h
*                                       *       F,2h,15m; F,16h,1h; F,4d,8h

Nope, it's just on the one host.
