Thanks Scott, here is what's not clear to me: does the second number apply only if I check the checkbox to enable the gateway ? If the answer is yes, ok it's everything ok. :-)
If the answer is no, assume that the first number is X and the second (the gateway's one) is Y . The gateway is used only after X+Y attempts or if Y<X the email is sent throught the gateway even if X is not expired ?
