You can do this with retry rules like the following example: yahoo.com rcpt_421 F,24h,6h That is - for all messages for recipients in the yahoo.com domain which receive a 421 response to a RCPT command, park them in the queue for 24 hours and only try every 6 hours. I highly recommend familiarising yourself with the retry configuration: http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch32.html It will very likely do exactly what you need without any external "assistance".
