I don't know what you are referring to here. ezmlm simply handles
bounces generated by the MTA. qmail does not bounce mail merely
because a link goes down for a few hours or is sporadic.

There is an issue here which you may be referring to: vanilla ezmlm
does not handle temporary failure DSN notices very well--it treats
them as bounces. This is easily fixable, and in fact I believe that
ezmlm+idx (which is what most people use) does handle them correctly
by default.
