The simplest thing is to modify your filter so that if it gets a tempfail
back from md_check_against_smtp_server, it returns "CONTINUE" instead.
Something like:


...
my($code, $msg) = md_check_against_smtp_server(...);
if ($code eq 'TEMPFAIL') {
   # Convert a TEMPFAIL to a CONTINUE so we queue if back-end server
   # is having trouble
   return('CONTINUE', 'OK');
}
return ($code, $msg);
