This causes high latency for messages that encounter a "glitch" in the
initial delivery. It also means that deferred queue runs brings more
messages into the active queue in each pass, since more junk accumulates
in a longer interval, as a result the active queue sees larger spikes
of undeliverable mail on a less-frequent basis, which is sub-optimal.
