I dont agree with that. Connection time out is the most common reason for 
temporary failure (in my case).

Mark, I don't think that postfix should stop sending to that domain for ever or 
that it should send the email back to the sender. I just think that postfix 
could have a way to hold the mail queue for a specific time based on specific 
and consecutive errors. Lets say for example, 100 errors in sequence to the 
same destination domain. Why keep trying if we're unable to deliver to that 
domain at the time?
