i have been using qmail for while and it seems to work mostly but it fails to
delivery certain messages every now and then. the delivery problem does not
seems to be permanent, as i can re-send the messages and they will typically go
thru. the typical error messages are enclosed below. anyone experienced
the same problem and knows the cause? can i tell qmail to retry a number of
times (with certain delay) before giving up on the message?

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at <>.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
