I setup a system using 2 minutes and it has worked very well.  From what
I have seen most legit systems retry at least once within 5 minutes. 
Most spam systems don't retry at all.  I saw spam drop from a rate of
3000 to 6000 a day down to 4 to 8 a day that got into sendmail. 
Spamassassin took care of flagging those few.

The problem was approaching the point that the company I set this up for
was seriously considering shutting email down entirely.
