says: "Warning: This facility can be unhelpful if it is used for host errors
(which do not depend on the recipient). The reason is that the sender is used
only to match the retry rule. Once the rule has been found for a host error,
its contents are used to set a retry time for the host, and this will apply to
all messages, not just those with specific senders."
