That's gibberish.

qmail queues mail (no pun intended). It will queue it and retry delivery
for a configurable length of time. It's fine for a backup-MX.
You can also deliver all mail for a domain into a Maildir folder and
leave it there for as long as you want, if you don't want it to be
retried. Then fire up maildir2smtp when you're ready to send it on its
way.
