I'm splitting this bug into two: 329192 remains the original bug about ignoring SMTP errors (message #5) and having no queue expiry time (message #10).
The clone concerns the "hammering on closed door" effect of the default pausetime, which is what has really taken up people's bandwidth and log space and which led to it being marked 'serious' (messages #29 onwards). I'm doing this because upstream has logged them as separate issues in their own tracker, and so that we can consider whether upstream's fix for the second issue is adequate to allow this package to be reintroduced into Jesse.
