@decke commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2022):

smtprelay is directly forwarding the mail and not storing it like full blown smtp servers. So we cannot easily wait for a longer period and then retry because we would be blocking the client in the meantime.
Some clients like dma (Dragonfly Mail Agent) will queue the outgoing mail if it received an error and can retry later.

@steom you may use a real SMTP server before smtprelay, like Postfix, and configure Postfix to use smtprelay as "smart host" (or "relay host")
