george,
email is delivered via tcp, but not controlled by it... sendmail will make
the attempt for 3-5 days (configurable by someone I'm sure)....
I don't know how much detail you want there, so I'll end there!

Subject: [SuSE Linux] E-mail Delayed?

I'v noticed several of my e-mails that I sent out on
Dec 6th, have just arrived to their recipients.
(Insert sarchastic remark about US Postal Service
here).
How can this be? I thought there was a time-to-live
associated with TCP packets, therefore, the e-mails
should die? What's the scoop?
George
