Yes you're right and I know that. But it keeps trying for another recipients in 
the same domain.

Lets just say Yahoo starts blocking because of unusual traffic. Yahoo will keep 
telling "me" to try again later. In the mean time, new emails to be sent 
arrives and we never get the change to get unblocked.

So postfix gets the next yahoo recipient and try to deliver without considering 
that yahoo does not want us to keep trying for a while.

This is just an example. We don't have problem delivering to Yahoo, but to 
smaller providers.

Thats why it would be interesting to have a way to configure that. Lets say we 
have 100 deferred messages in sequence. Why keep trying? This way we loose time 
and processing, and have no way to improve reputation since we don't stop 
bugging them after they tell us to stop for a while.

Anyway, it doesn't seem to be possible to do this.

Thanks guys.
