I have to admit I am starting to come around to understanding Rodrigo's
viewpoint on this, however. What is the *downside* of having Courier
retry a different (same-priority if exists, or next lowest, as usual) MX
rather than the same *potentially*-broken one, after the usual interval?

It won't be construed as a spam attempt, unless I guess you are of the
opinion that my sending two separate messages to you and happening to
have them connect to two different MX is also spammy behaviour (no, it
would just be coincidence).
