While technically possible, this would be a spectacularly bad idea. The whole
reason qmail has to retry the delivery is that if the remote site fails to
respond with a 2xx code after the DATA is complete, there's a good chance that
it did _not_ receive the message properly. If you don't try delivery again,
you _will_ be throwing mail in the bitbucket.
A few duplicate deliveries are harmless -- and as they're the fault of the
receiving system, if the recipient is annoyed, tell them to tell their
postmaster to fix their system, and not to be angry at you.
