I don't think so.

Thanks.

The temp-fail is not a major issue. However, we should consider an
approach that does not impact timely delivery of messages if there
are traffic bursts. For example, I may have sent one message to a
recipient weekly. And then I get into a rapid exchange with the
recipient. Would that burst be less visible when there is
aggregation of domain traffic and the temp-fail be avoidable with the
existing approach?
