Sorry, let me clarify:
I am trying control at a more finite level, the ability to tell qmail that
if the recipient's mail host is not responding to try 4 times, at 60 minute
intervals, before qmail should give up.
I have been told that this may not be possible, because qmail uses a
quadratic backoff algorithm. I am unfamiliar with this algorithm, so if
someone could briefly explain it to me, that would help my determination on
what kind of policy I need to setup for unreachable mail hosts.
Thanks!

Huh? Bounced mail is returned to the sender as undeliverable. You want
to retry it after the MTA has already tried and failed? Why?
