If a 4xx wait: was received as a reply to a RCPT TO command, try to
resend this message to this specific recipient after the specified time.

OTOH: If this is a multi-recipient message, keep trying until you run out of recipients (remembering which ones were rejected). This way if one or wore were accepted these recipients will immediately receive the message and it will then be requeued for a later attempt with a trimmed recipient list.
