- IMHO, it would be nice to have more than one such logical, each tied to
- a specific queue, so that i could have a say, 'local mail' queue with
- return interval of 12-24 hours for mail going to reliable sites in
- usually accessible places, and another queue, say, 'overseas mail'
- with a return interval of 5-7 days for mail going to places where the
- availability of nameservers and connectivity to distant hosts is
- problematical.
