In truth, a full solution would involve fetchmail hanging onto each
undeliverable mail and retrying the transmission in its own time. This
approach obviously has undesireable implications, but seems to me the only
complete solution.
That's not going to happen. The current "straight path" mode of operation is
important to the design; changing it might solve some edge cases but would
introduce way too many failure modes.
