I have had emails that took literally a month to get delivered. It was
nice that Qmail kept the message in the queue that long, since the message
would have not been delivered to him if I was using a MTA that gives up
after five days.
The problem with "there is a delay in delivering the message"-type mails
is that the average user never takes the time to read those messages, and
thinks that they mean that the mail has bounced.
