Overall, the queue retry seems to be the one thing that qmail has over sendmail -- qmail has exponential backoff, whereas sendmail just tries once an hour (or whatever). So a sendmail client may take an hour to get mail to a server that does graylisting. Not fast enough for me or my users.

Sendmail can be configured with multiple queues (each running a progressively longer retry period). An ISP I work for is set up this way. Sure, it isn't an out of the box configuration, but it's pretty straightforward sendmail queue stuff.
