[i.e. the sending MTA will retry the message up to its limits and then return a non-delivery to the sender.] I'm fine, just as long as it doesn't [at least as much as is possible] get accepted [250] and then dropped/lost before it gets to the users inbox. So please confirm I'm understanding that correctly. A few failed tries, even a non-delivery notice - all fine. Blackhole - not fine. :) Thanks! -Greg
