Why? The *only* cause of a recipient error is 4xx (or a timeout after
RCPT). What you are suggesting amounts to abolishing this error, and
anyway, it really is an error that is related to the recipient, not to
the message in general.

That doesn't sound like a good idea. Consider the non-greylisting case.
Once that retry time had passed, Exim would start trying every message
that contained that recipient in every queue run.

It doesn't (by default).
