You lost me here. Who has issues? DSPAM? Postfix? From looking at message above 
I would say that DSPAM has issues sending a mail back to Postfix. Right? If 
that is the case then I can't tell Postfix to retry as Postfix has already 
injected/delivered mail to DSPAM and the mail is no longer in the Postfix queue.

The problem is that DSPAM does not have a queue manager. Holding a mail back 
and retrying later means that the mail is staying inside DSPAM's current memory 
and the more mails stay there the more memory is used and soon or later the 
maximum allowed connections to DSPAM will saturate and Postfix will not be able 
to send new mail to DSPAM.

Is the deamon behind the socket able to accept messages with other transport 
options? Maybe by SMTP or other ways?

Maybe we could implement some kind of retry count with a delay and then a 
fallback to an alternative delivery method and if that fails then raising the 
error we currently do.

Or we rewrite DSPAM to have a queue manager and spool messages there?

I had done RPMs for 3.8.0 some while ago. I made them for Tony Earnshaw but he 
did not liked the way things where made inside the RPM. Anyway... I still have 
those SPEC files somewhere around and could port them to 3.9.0 without big 
issues.

GREAT! That would be super if you could do that.

Should you ever make a trip to my country then you can have a coffee with me at 
any time :)
