Hello,
I have never done what you are asking for, so I just named the
obvious stuff.

I would have tried something like this:
retry rule:
+list_of_domains_hosted_on_hiddenhosts * F,1d,30m; F,365d,23h

and
delay_warning_condition = \
   ${if or {\
     {match{$h_precedence:}{(?i)bulk|list|junk}}\
     {match_domain{$domain}{+list_of_domains_hosted_on_hiddenhosts}}\
   }{no}{yes}}
