Wouldn't work. For any fiven retry rule, there could be a frequency of
incoming messages, which would prevent the queue from being processed.

Imagine queue-runs every 15 minutes.

0m: Mail from a to b arrives and is greylisted =temporary error.
14m: Mail from c to b arrives and is greylisted.
15m: Queue-run: last mail for b failed 1m ago, skipping.
29m: mail from d to b arrives and is greylisted.
30m: Queue-run: last mail to b failed 1m ago, skipping.
44m: mail from e to b arrives and is greylisted.
45m: Queue-run: last mail to b failed 1m ago, skipping.
...

The mails in my queue are never retried. Not good.
