Currently, smtp_fallback_relay is being used after the first failed
delivery. 

http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#smtp_fallback_relay
explicitly mentions: "With bulk email deliveries, it can be beneficial
to run the fallback relay MTA on the same host, so that it can reuse
the sender IP address. This speeds up deliveries that are delayed by
IP-based reputation systems (greylist, etc.)."

i thought this could be done easier, like:

Why not have either a smtp_fallback_relay_threshold
parameter, which specifies after how many delivery attempts the mail
will be passed to the smtp_fallback_relay.

It would have to default to 1 to be backwards compatible.

Alternative/additional approach:

smtp_fallback_relay_threshold_time (compare to
smtp_pix_workaround_threshold_time)

How long a message must be queued before the Postfix SMTP client
passes the mail to the smtp_fallback_relay.

No idea what an appropriate default would be...
