Well, the 4yz response code model is actually the only reason I think
queuing _might_ be in the architecture.

5xx has the same sort of input.

  user(@domain(mx(A)))
   ^           ^  ^
   |           |  |
   |           |  try next host in MX set
   |           |
   |           try next-best MX
   |
   give up entirely

4xx is worse because of things like disk space causing requeuing
