(Apologies for the top-posting)
here's another datapoint.
I sometimes see this too, and I use this special retry rule:
* * senders="dlugo@???" F,5m,1m; F,2h,15m; F,20h,2h; F,4d,4h
(I've sent enough crap in the past that I've regretted - the
above 1m delay gives me a chance to rm new crap at the border
relay before it delivers to the remote MX/A.)
Next time this happens, I can save my retry db files in case
anyone thinks that will help debugging.
