I don't think so. qmail uses a quadratic schedule for
deliveries (both local and remote, with the difference being
the coefficient of the quadratic function -- a function of the
number of retires; the coefficients are 10^2 for local
deliveries and 20^2 for remote deliveries).
I've posted this to the list some time ago and Dave Sill's
excellent document also contains a discussion about this. I
guess that he could post the formula of next retry in a next
version of his document.
