I honestly wouldn't be touching the template file.

Also, having it retry every minute is a bit much, don't you think? Just
think if others did the same, and how it'd affect other peoples' mail

The default retry intervals work perfectly fine, but if you still find
an urgent need to modify it, check out these web pages:
