Okay, but what's to be done when 4 hours happens? Depending on where the e-mail originates, 4 hours might happen at any time even though your servers and network(s) are in perfect order. SMTP allows for delayed retries, e.g., see CHGSMTPA RTYMIN() RTYDAY() RTYHOUR(); perfectly normal. A momentary glitch along the path, quite possibly outside your network, can put any given e-mail into a retry status. In the meantime, all your stuff is running fine. So what'll be triggered for a 'failure', especially since such a delay probably only involves the specific path taken by the specific e-mail? Just trying to cover bases.
