You can set up a seperate qmail for that host and configure it with
concurrencyremote=1. Actually, you could even install sendmail with a
private queue to deliver to that server.
Qmail is a little smarter than sendmail. It uses a quadratic backoff,
so the interval for any given message increases as the message ages.
You may be able to hack it in the source, but make sure you understand
it first. There is a lot of magic in qmail timing.
If qmail makes one successful delivery and then two attempts time out,
it will mark the host as down and not try it for 1 hour (qmail-tcpto).
You may have better luck if you do qmail-tcpok before the -ALRM.
