Er, only MMDF you mean.  As I explained in my last reply, there is a
workaround for every other MTA.

This seems like a whole lot of work for something that only affects
one TMDA user (you).

In my last reply, I asked the following, and I'd still like to know if
you've pursused this:

  Is there no way to configure MMDF's SMTP interface to just accept the
  transmission regardless, to get it into the mailq where it will be
  retried as necessary?  

  With qmail, this is the default behavior.  With Postfix, you can
  toggle it on.  Not sure about Exim but I imagine it's configurable.
  With Sendmail, you can get this behavior by using the
  /usr/sbin/sendmail interface instead of SMTP.

  In other words, there should be some kind of similar solution for
  MMDF.
