Yep.

How can it do that? spamd doesn't relay or deliver mail. When it
sees a retry after the passtime it marks the address as white so the
next time sendmail will get the mail. To do what you want spamd would
either have to do everything that sendmail does or, at a minimum, queue
the message and then pass it to sendmail. But what if sendmail then
rejects the message?

Thanks for your reply, now it's clear. I was just thinking this would
really be nice so then would avoid an extra "mail server retry timeout".
but as you say spamd isn't a sendmail
