I don't have time to work on this, but I think anybody with a little c
fu could probably make an adjustment to fix this in src/retry.c:

1. The code to generate the key that it stores in the database looks like this:

BOOL
retry_check_address(uschar *domain, host_item *host, uschar *portstring,
BOOL include_ip_address, uschar **retry_host_key, uschar **retry_message_key)
{
<snip>
/* Generate the host key for the unusable tree and the retry database. Ensure
host names are lower cased (that's what %S does). */
host_key = include_ip_address?
string_sprintf("T:%S:%s%s", host->name, host->address, portstring) :
string_sprintf("T:%S%s", host->name, portstring);

...You would need to modify this to include the intended outbound IP
address that is being used. Of course, you don't know this until the
message has already been routed and is in the transport, which may
mean it's not possible. I haven't looked at this enough to know that.

2. The only spot that calls this function is in src/transports/smtp.c,
so you only need to change the call in one spot to include the
intended outbound IP (if it's not already in one of those variables
being passed, or in some module wide variable or global variable).

3. For a formal implementation, if I could get the above to work per
outbound IP, I would probably create a global variable to turn on or
off this retry hint behavior, with the default of off.

At least, that's what I would try to do.
