Queue handling in "sendmail" works differently. It doesn't remember when
to retry delivering a particular e-mail. It will instead try to redeliver
every queued e-mail in regular intervals. An e-mail that got rejected
by greylisting 1 minute before the next global queue run will therefore
be redelivered 1 minute later.
