I have read that and was wondering about that, its just it seems retry
is done on email addresses? What i need is for the host im sending to
have a much shorter retry time. I dont want to change the overall retry
due to other emails and spam related issues constantly retrying.

Would this surfice in the retry section?


external.relay.host.com * F,5H,1m F,1d,1H F,3d,8H
